Preventing NVRTC from looking for header files on disk

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Hi there

I’m currently using NVRTC in my application, and am supplying all code via nvrtcCreateProgram()
ie

  • code via the “buffer” argument
  • headers via the “numHeaders”, “headers” and “includeNames” arguments

Recently I have been burnt by NVRTC looking + finding include files on disk when not supplied as arguments in C++. The problem is that sometimes those files exist (ie on a developers machine) but other times not (ie on a users machine). This can create a problem with debugging, testing and deployment.

Is it possible to pass an argument to NVRTC to disable this behaviour of looking on disk for header files? (via C++ would be ideal, rather than some environment variable…)
If not possible, can we ask for it as a feature request?

Thanks very much
Brian
