disabling nvcc preincludes

Hi

How do you disable the pre-including of header files that nvcc does when compiling *.cu files? For example this file will compile if compiled as a .cu file even though the headers aren’t there.

#include <stdio.h>

int

main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

	void* dev;

	cudaError_t err;

	err = cudaMalloc(&dev, 1024);

	cudaFree(dev);

	return 0;

}

It will compile with nvcc -o test test.cu. nvcc -E test.cu shows a bunch of include files being shoved into this automatically. How do I disable this?

I don’t think you can, those headers are part of the compilation environment and responsible for quite a lot of the CUDA “built in” things. Why would you want to?
