NVIDIA CUDA Compiler 12.8

• Compiler acronym: nvcc-gcc_12_8
• Host OS: Linux (x86_64)
• Supported practices: Static Analysis 
• Support level: Standard

Additional Notes

• This version has been tested in NVIDIA's Docker container "nvidia/cuda:12.8.1-devel-ubuntu24.04"
• To generate a .bdf file, use cpptesttrace with the option --cpptesttraceTraceCommand="nvcc|nvlink"

• In Eclipse, enable .cu files as C++ files by adding "*.cu" as a source file extension (go to Window > C/C++ > Files Types > New).

Known Limitations

• The CUDA execution configuration expression (<<< Dg, Db, Ns, S >>>) is not fully analyzed. This may lead to inaccurate analysis results regarding the actual arguments of the configuration expression. For example, if a variable is used only as an argument in a configuration expression, it may be incorrectly reported as an "unused variable".

About Support Levels

• Extended: Support has been validated with extended testing and is approved for use in safety-critical software development.
• Standard: Support has been validated with standard testing and is approved for use in non-safety-critical software development.
