Re: gcc-7.3.0: ptxas lib_a-hash_func.o, line 11; fatal : Invalid initial value expression

Hi Thomas,

thank you very much for your help. I applied the patch to nvptx.c
and was able to build everything. The compiler works for my small
accelerator programs.

loki nvptx 147 diff nvptx.c nvptx.c.orig
1878,1881c1878
<       bool function = SYMBOL_REF_DECL (sym)
<       && (TREE_CODE (SYMBOL_REF_DECL (sym)) == FUNCTION_DECL);
<       if (!function)
<       fprintf (asm_out_file, "generic(");
---
>       fprintf (asm_out_file, "generic(");
1883,1886c1880
<       if (!function)
<       fprintf (asm_out_file, val ? ") + " : ")");
<       else if (val)
<       fprintf (asm_out_file, " + ");
---
>       fprintf (asm_out_file, val ? ") + " : ")");
loki nvptx 148


I'm not sure if I used CUDA 8 or CUDA 9 to build gcc-7.2.0, but I
assume it was already CUDA 9.

loki nvptx 148 ls -ld /usr/local/gcc-7.2.0/ /usr/local/cuda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    8 Sep 27 09:15 /usr/local/cuda -> cuda-9.0
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Nov  2 12:07 /usr/local/gcc-7.2.0/
loki nvptx 149


Thank you very much once more

Siegmar
