Description:
I have a kernel that makes use of the __ldcv load function / cache hint qualifier (to load an ulonglong2) in order to discard cached data and re-fetch it from its source. The kernel compiles and works perfectly fine with the nvcc compiler shipped with cuda 11.2 release (Linux), but as soon as I try to compile it with any version equal or newer 11.3 or even cuda 12.x, I am faced with an error message
error: identifier “__ldcv” is undefined
All other qualifiers seem to work as expected though and replacing the __ldcv command with any of the other qualifiers compiles fine into a working kernel (as long as that one does not rely on the need to discard the cache content).
The CUDA C++ Programming Guide though does still list __ldcv as a valid load operation and neither lists an alternative nor informs about this being deprecated. Therefore I would like to ask for the correct replacement using cuda 11.3 or newer.
Kind regards
