debugging code with Thrust thrust debug

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

I am just starting to try and use Thrust in my CUDA software, but have hit a big stumbling block.

I am using Visual Studio 2008, and want to use its built-in debugger.

If I set the “Generate GPU Debug Information” option (under Configuration Properties->CUDA Runtime API->GPU) to Yes, the code will crash. This is the flag that sets the -G0 option in the NVCC compiler. If I do not set this flag, the code runs fine. Obviously, I want to be able to use this flag!

This problem is easy to reproduce - I simply took saxpy.cu from the Thrust examples and built a visual studio 2008 project around it. Also linked in cudart.lib, and am building 64 bit versions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is the thrust-users google gpoup to post your questions.Currently Thrust doesn’t support the -G flag correctly to my knowledge.
