Compiling cudpp on VS2008/2010 causes fatal error C1060: compiler is out of heap space

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download CUDPP Release 2.0, Aug 8 release
2. Use CMake took to create sln files
3. build on VS2010 using the v90 platform toolset

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win7 x32, Visual Studio 2010 (also tested on 2008)

Please provide any additional information below.
Attempted several fixes suggested by MS, none of which worked:
increased page file size to maximum allowed
Used the /Zm option with values ranging from 100 to 2000
Removed the /Zm options

Known issue: "There is a known issue that the compile time for CUDPP is very 
long and the compiled library file size is very large. On some systems with < 
4GB of available memory (or virtual memory), the CUDA compiler can run out of 
memory and compilation can fail. We will be working on these issues for future 
releases."

How much memory do you have on your system?

My system has 4GB RAM, however 1GB is reserved as video RAM. I have 4GB of 
virtual memory
To be exact: 3061 MB accessible physical memory and 4095MB virtual memory

So it sounds like that is precisely on point for the aforementioned 
release-note known-issue, I'm afraid. This is an NVIDIA compiler issue rather 
than a CUDPP issue, with the proviso (of course) that it's CUDPP code that is 
making the compiler use so much memory. Can you up your virtual memory (4 GB 
sounds low for a modern system anyway) and see if that might allow the compiler 
to finish?

I have upped the virtual memory to 8 GB (4GB on each of my drives, the maximum 
allowed by Win7 x32). It does not resolve the 'out of heap space' bug

You might need to upgrade to a 64-bit OS.  I'm not sure we have tested CUDPP 
2.0 on a 32-bit OS...

unfortunately CUDPP 2.0 seems to require a 64-bit OS to compile successfully 
currently.

can't believe this issue still not fixed yet.

We would be delighted to hear any suggestions you had about how to structure 
the project such that it eliminates this issue. If this was easily fixable, I 
assure you we would place high priority on getting it fixed.
