When I build VTK (VTKm and AcceleratorsVTKm enabled) with following options set in CMake on Windows using Visual Studio 2017 Community the build crashes with an error directive:
Error: When VTK-m is built with CUDA enabled all compilation units that include DeviceAdapterTagCuda must use the cuda compiler
Project: vtkm_cont
File: D:\Studium\vtk\src\ThirdParty\vtkm\vtkvtkm\vtk-m\vtkm\cont\cuda\DeviceAdapterCuda.h 31
I figured that using the nvcc compiler installed with Nvidia Cuda as C and CXX compiler should resolve this issue, but the error is still thrown while building.
I also enabled QtSupport and changed the VTKm_ENABLE_RENDERING variable to ON in the CMakeLists.txt under ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm, but other than that I didn’t change any configuration.

Thankful for any pointers toward a solution for this problem.
What exactly does it mean that AcceleratorsVTKm will be required to build static? Do I have to manually ensure that? (This message is given to me when configuring via CMake when AcceleratorsVTKm and CUDA are enabled.)
If been fiddeling around and can’t find the error source. I tried disabeling AcceleratorsVTKm and using different compilers / linkers. I keep running into either one of or both issues:
When VTK-m is built with CUDA enabled all compilation units that include DeviceAdapterTagCuda must use the cuda compiler
Thank you. Using that merge request resolved my issue regarding VTK-m. However the AcceleratorsVTKm Module still fails while building with following error:
This is generally caused when the input to the compiler is bad. That happens when quotes are missing or added in the wrong places, or if unknown parameters are passed
I would try removing flags from the link line to see what is causing the problem
These are not passed into -Xcompiler as they should be.
Looking at the Accelerators\Vtkm\CMakeLists.txt this seems to be supposed to specifically do that:
if (MSVC)
set(msvc_warning_flags
# Generates numerous false positives with template code about unreachable
# code
/wd4702
# Generates numerous warning that implicit assignment operators can't be
# constructed. This is understood and we don't care.
/wd4512
# Generates numerous warning that implicit constructors can't be
# constructed. This is understood and we don't care.
/wd4510
# Generates warnings when decorated names are over 4096 characters
# This compiler warning is deprecated and no longer occurs with VS2017+.
# So we suppress for VS2015
/wd4503
)
set(vtkm_msvc_flags)
foreach (msvc_warning_flag IN LISTS msvc_warning_flags)
if (TARGET vtkm::cuda)
list(APPEND vtkm_msvc_flags
$<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:CUDA>:-Xcompiler=${msvc_warning_flag},${msvc_warning_flag}>)
else ()
list(APPEND vtkm_msvc_flags
${msvc_warning_flag})
endif ()
endforeach ()
vtk_module_compile_options(VTK::AcceleratorsVTKm
PRIVATE
${msvc_warning_flags})
endif ()
I’ve tried to fiddle around with this but didn’t seem to manage anything, any suggestions? I see this was a issue on here before:
That actually resolved the issue regarding the flags. Now I no longer get the to many input files error and the compilation actually runs for about 30 minutes instead of instantly failing, so this probably should be fixed in the master at some point.
However compilation is still failing, now with return code 2 instead of 1, but sadly no verbose message:

1> Die Erstellung des Ziels "CudaBuildCore" im Projekt "AcceleratorsVTKm.vcxproj" ist abgeschlossen -- FEHLER.
I recompiled using the newly merged master and validated that it’s still using correct msvc params. Works.
Thing is, I still get the error code 2 on failure. Interesting log lines: 204>C:\vtk\src\Common\Core\vtkSparseArray.txx(412): error : the object has type qualifiers that are not compatible with the member function "vtkArray::GetDimensions"
153> CUDACOMPILE : nvcc error : 'cl.exe' died with status 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION)
The access violation might also point towards memory being full? Would it make any difference to try and compile with nvlink.exe instead of cl.exe as linker?
So I managed to successfully compile when combining a couple of pending merge requests. All issues I had should be fixed once this is pushed to the VTK-m master. Thank you for your help.
Sadly it seems I cheered to soon. vtkSparseArray.txx(412): error: the object has type qualifiers that are not compatible with the member function "vtkArray::GetDimensions" still is a issue, not when compiling VTKmCore, but when compiling VTKmFilters. Any suggestions?
This only is a issue when compiling with CUDA enabled. When CUDA is disabled the compilation is fine. In attempt of fixing this I tried using the newest commits on the master branch of both VTK and VTK-m, while compilation is still sucessfull when not using CUDA I get a error on running my project where I use VTK:
Rougly translated the simply means that the vtkmdiympi_nompi.dll could not be found. MPI is disabled. This is only when using the newest commit, and not the current release branch. Am I doing something wrong or was there maybe a bug committed?
This is my projects CMakeLists.txt, should be fine, right? CMakeLists.txt (655 Bytes)
