NVCC Segmentation Fault While Building Pytorch

Hello,

While building pytorch @b8d7a28e1afc12c77f67edaa9f8154ef0bb13f55 with debug enabled and using Clang version 15 as the compilers I encountered a segfault while building some of the cuda code.
build command used for pytorch DEBUG=1 CXX=clang++ CC=clang CUDAHOSTCXX=clang++ python setup.py develop
On investigation it turns out that for debug builds pytorch adds the flags “-g -lineinfo --source-in-ptx” in nvcc command and the issue that seemed to cause the segfault is --source-in-ptx. I tried adding -G option as well and the segfault happens quicker. I removed the --source-in-ptx option for now to get unblocked. I am not sure if this is particular to my system or a general issue and I don’t have another system to test this on.

The build was done in WSL2:

I have allocated my WSL 12GB of RAM

Thanks,
