icpc issue when mixing boost and cuda.

[Alain Miniussi <alain@…>]

There are 2 problems when using nvcc with intel's compiler and including boost headers. Considering the following truc.cu file:

#include "boost/container/vector.hpp"

int
main() {
  return 0;
}

The compilation raises the following two issues:

[alainm@gurney bug]$ nvcc -ccbin=icpc -c ./truc.cu  -I../include

The two problem are the double definition of BOOST_COMPILER (handled with gcc and visualc) and the absence of int128 in that mode.

[Alain Miniussi <alain@…>]

I have a fix, but this is my first attempts to using boost through github so it will take some hours..

[Alain Miniussi <alain@…>]

the int128 issue seems to be fixed in [0a34d7b07e592663a407ee408dc6c943ee2743a8]

[Alain Miniussi <alain@…>]

There's a pull request with a fix available: ​https://github.com/boostorg/config/pull/37 It's my first modification through github so I might have missed something...

Replying to Alain Miniussi <alain@…>:

And yes I did. starting from scratch...

[John Maddock]

I believe this is indeed fixed now.... closing down.
