c++20 does not work? - Githubissues

ziyuhuang123 commented 4 months ago

Hi! I am running on 4090 for example/attn/4090, using nvcc=12.3, gcc and g++=10, but meet error below:

(py_hzy_new) 4090-01% make

      static __attribute__((device)) inline constexpr bf16 zero() { return std::bit_cast<__nv_bfloat16>(uint16_t(0x0000)); }

I guess.... c++20 is still not supported somehow?

I was able to replicate the issue, and resolved it by using gcc/g++ 11

GCC 10 doesn't support bit_cast (p0476r2), but GCC11 does.

You can check the implementation status of different std features for these compilers here: GCC 10 implementation status GCC 11 implementation status

Gcc 10 doesn't work with this repo, should use the newer compilers/versions of gcc as they continuously add more support for the different features of c++20 and beyond.
