Summary

  • Disable the __remove_cv builtin path for NVCC before 13.3.
  • Keep cuda::std::remove_cv on the existing fallback implementation for affected older NVCC toolchains.
  • Leave the builtin enabled for NVCC 13.3+ and other compilers.

This fixes the cudax launch configuration compile failure observed on upstream/main after #10997, where cudax.test.launch failed in launch_smoke.cu under older NVCC plus newer GCC.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved compatibility with older NVCC versions by avoiding conflicting compiler builtins.
    • Added validation for extended-lambda kernel launch configurations, including grid, block, and cooperative launch settings.

Walkthrough

The changes add older-NVCC builtin compatibility handling and a CUDA extended-lambda compile test for kernel default launch configurations.

Changes

Launch configuration compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
NVCC builtin compatibility guard
libcudacxx/include/cuda/std/__cccl/builtin.h
For NVCC versions earlier than 13.3, conflicting compiler builtins are disabled.
Default configuration validation
libcudacxx/test/libcudacxx/cuda/ccclrt/launch/default_config_extended_lambda.compile.pass.cpp
The test defines kernel_with_default_config, validates grid and block dimensions with an extended lambda, and checks default-configuration traits and types. NVRTC is excluded.

Suggested reviewers: ericniebler, miscco, davebayer

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0744f

The PR routes older NVCC versions through the fallback remove_cv implementation, but its regression test does not actually instantiate the dependent launch-configuration checks needed to protect the reported compile-failure path; merge should wait for the test to exercise that behavior or for explicit owner acceptance of the gap.

important: Instantiate verify_lambda and exercise cuda::launch. The generic lambda is only declared and discarded, so its dependent static_assert expressions are not instantiated. The test also does not reach __conf.combine_with_default(__kernel) in cuda::launch.

This comment has been minimized.

We have seen at least one codegen bug related to `__remove_cv` where NVCC 12.9 and NVCC 13.0 generated invalid code.

Be safe and disable all new ones for anything below 13.3 which has been fully tested in CI

I have pushed a bit more conservative change.

There are similar compiler builtins, so I want to be sure we only enable them if we have full test coverage. So I disabled all the new gcc compiler builtins for NVCC

AI failure analysis

1. cugraph device_scalar construction selects deleted RMM rvalue overload · 1 job

Explanation: cugraph repeatedly constructs `rmm::device_scalar` from temporary literals, but the RMM 26.10 header used by the job deletes the matching rvalue constructor, causing the same error across many translation units. The PR's new workaround targets NVCC versions below 13.3, while this job used 13.3.73; because the log does not record the external RMM and cugraph commit SHAs, a CCCL regression is unproven and RAPIDS revision skew should be checked first.

- Build RAPIDS (optional) / rmm ucxx raft cuvs cugraph wholegraph: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/actions/runs/33063194298/job/98486989815

Reproduce narrowly by compiling one failing cugraph translation unit with the same CUDA 13.3 RAPIDS configuration, then repeat against the base CCCL revision while recording the exact RMM and cugraph SHAs. If the base also fails, treat this as RMM/cugraph API skew: align or pin compatible RAPIDS revisions, or patch cugraph's temporary initializers to use stable lvalues, for example `size_t zero{0}; rmm::device_scalar<size_t> count(zero, stream);`, at every affected site; then run a focused cugraph build. If only the PR revision fails, inspect the preprocessed value of `_CCCL_BUILTIN_CONFLICTS_WITH_LIBSTDCXX` under NVCC 13.3 and narrow the workaround to the specific broken builtin instead of globally disabling the type-trait builtins; add a focused regression test and validate the failing cugraph translation unit plus the relevant libcudacxx test.
