ICC with CUDA "Compatible" issue again

[happyfish]

Hi,

I have aCUDA project whichuse Build Rule files.
If I compile it with Visual Studio 2008 all works fine, no error occured.
If I convert the project to use it with ICC, it will converted sucessful.

I have checked previous posts: Michael and Mark Sabahi's article about the trick:

1. http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=68567

2. http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/error-value-expected-a-number-when-compiling-the-cuda-milkway-project/#comment-54363

so, I followed the exact step:

Switch="-maxrregcount=[Value]"

and changed it to

Switch="-maxrregcount=[value]"


Platform: win7 64bit, VS 2008 64bit-Release mode, Intel c++ compiler, cuda 3.2

Still, If I now compile with ICC I get following error:


1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: LocalizationOpt, Configuration: Release x64 ------
1>Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'LocalizationOpt', configuration 'Release|x64'.

it seems that i didn't change the "Value" to "value", but, I actually did that. i'm confused???

Your help is appreciated, and your guys are great! badly need your help!

The workaround was tried on a small test case, and confirmed by Heinz who originally posted this problem at http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=78034&o=d&s=lr&wapkw=%28milkyway%29. This issue will be fixed in the next compiler update. In the mean time I can send you a patch (tested by Heinz andconfirmed to work) that may resolve your issue.
