Release Compiles Debug will not

I am using Intel 19.1(2020.0.2.899) C++ compiler with Visual Studio 2019 v16.7.5. When I add build
dependency to use Cuda v11.3, I got the compiler linking error LNK2019 in Debug mode without adding CUDA code. Attached with my compiler and linker settings.

i have made that edit

linking against cudadevrt would ordinarily require relocatable device compilation (-dc or -rdc=true) with a device linking step. I’m not sure your project actually requires that, but it might, and I don’t see those settings in your compile/link settings.

If that were a project config difference between release and debug projects, that could explain it.

thanks for the quick reply.

I have changed my debug compiler settings like release mode and use -rdc=true but there is no help to remove the link error.

Cuda compiler settings:

(Approximate command-line. Settings inherited from host are not visible below.)

(Please see the output window after a build for the full command-line)

Driver API (NVCC Compilation Type is .cubin, .gpu, or .ptx)

set CUDAFE_FLAGS=–sdk_dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10"
“C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.3\bin\nvcc.exe” --use-local-env -ccbin “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\bin\HostX64\x64” -x cu -rdc=true -G --keep-dir x64\Debug -maxrregcount=0 --machine 64 --compile -cudart static -o x64\Debug%(Filename)%(Extension).obj “%(FullPath)”

Runtime API (NVCC Compilation Type is hybrid object or .c file)

set CUDAFE_FLAGS=–sdk_dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10"
“C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.3\bin\nvcc.exe” --use-local-env -ccbin “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\bin\HostX64\x64” -x cu -rdc=true -G --keep-dir x64\Debug -maxrregcount=0 --machine 64 --compile -cudart static -Xcompiler "/EHsc /nologo /FS " -o x64\Debug%(Filename)%(Extension).obj “%(FullPath)”

CUDA linker settings:

(Approximate command-line. Settings inherited from host are not visible below.)

(Please see the output window after a build for the full command-line)

“C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.3\bin\nvcc.exe” -dlink -o x64\Debug\ProductionModule3D.device-link.obj -Xcompiler “/EHsc /nologo /Zi " -L"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.3\bin/crt”

You’re missing either cudart or cudadevrt from your link settings.

I have both of my C++ and CUDA linker but the link error is still there.
