error in brigand.hpp VTKm

ParaView Support

Hi,

When I try to build ParaView 5.6.0 from source, I am getting following error related with VTKm. Is it known problem? If yes, is there any fix for it?

@uturuncoglu What version of CUDA are you using?

Hi Robert,

nvcc: NVIDIA ® Cuda compiler driver
Copyright © 2005-2018 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Sat_Aug_25_21:08:01_CDT_2018
Cuda compilation tools, release 10.0, V10.0.130

When I deactivate CUDA and keep VTKm it pass. It is probably related with CUDA.

The error message is coming from line ( brigand.hpp:534 ) which should only be encountered when compiling C++ files with clang or gcc. This means that for some reason your CUDA compiler is not defining the __CUDACC__ or __CUDACC_VER_MAJOR__ correctly.

Out of curiosity what c++ compiler are you building with?

I am using Intel compiler and version is 2018u4 and the operating system is Centos

Okay I now understand what happened. This isn’t related to your host compiler but is a bug in the older version of VTK-m that is shipped with ParaView 5.6.

What you can do is apply these two VTK-m commits to your version to support CUDA 10.

Hi Robert,

As you suggested, I applied patches and install again. Now, it compiles without any problem. Thanks for your help.
