How to compile thrust and c++ project? - c++

Question

I got big problems about the compile when I want to use thrust and c++ meanwhile.
Here is the project structure(just a test project):
sortbase.h
#include<iostream>
#include <thrust/device_vector.h>
using namespace std;
template<class T>
class SortBase
{
public:
void Init()
{
}
void resize(const int &x)
{
CV.resize(x);
cout<<"resize succeed!"<<endl;
}
private:
thrust::device_vector<T> CV;
};
sorter.h
#ifndef __SORTER_H__
#define __SORTER_H__
#include <iostream>
#include <thrust/device_vector.h>
#include "sortbase.h"
using namespace std;
template<class T>
void ttest()
{cout<<"tttttttttttttttt";cout<<endl;}
template<class KEY>
class Sorter
{
public:
Sorter():CV(NULL)
{
CV=new SortBase<KEY>();
}
~Sorter()
{
if (CV!=NULL)
{
delete CV;
CV=NULL;
}
}
__host__ __device__
virtual bool operator()(const KEY& x,const KEY& y)const
{
return (x<y);
}
void test()
{
//ttest<KEY>();
resize(5);
}
private:
void resize(const int &x)
{
CV->resize(x);
cout<<"resize: "<<x<<endl;
}
private:
SortBase<KEY> *CV;
};
#endif
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "include/sorter.cu"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
Sorter<int> *sorter=new Sorter<int>();
sorter->test();
return 0;
}
What I do like this:
nvcc -c sorter.cu
g++ -c main.cpp -I/usr/local/cuda/include
g++ sorter.o main.o -o sorter
but the second step gives the error message, a lot of warning and error message.
who can help me?
some warning and error message like these:

Answer 1

I think that the problem is you are including your .cu file from a .cpp file. Thrust code can only be used from .cu files, which must be compiled by NVCC, not by the host compiler g++. So you need to move all of your Thrust and CUDA device code inside .cu files in functions that can be called from your .cpp files.

Answer 2

Harrism is right. If you are going to compile a file using gpu, you must use .cu for the file and nvcc like:
nvcc -o test test.cu
