Summary

test_cpp_program_with_various_options checks that cuda.core encodes each ProgramOptions field as a flag that NVRTC accepts. With an older NVRTC 12.x (for example 12.6, which torch cu126 pins), the test fails for no_cache, frandom_seed, and ofast_compile, because these flags first appear in NVRTC 12.9. This change runs the test only when the NVRTC major.minor is at least the major.minor of the installed cuda-bindings, and skips it on an older NVRTC. The gate moves with cuda-bindings releases, so it needs no per-option version table.

Changes

  • cuda_core/tests/test_program.py: add the nvrtc_at_bindings_version marker and apply it to test_cpp_program_with_various_options.
  • cuda_core/tests/test_program.py: remove the four per-option PCH gates (NVRTC >= 12.8) in that test; the new gate covers them. The numba_debug gate (13.2) and the device_float128 architecture gate stay.

CI lanes whose toolkit matches the cuda-bindings build version (12.9.x and 13.4.x) still run the test; lanes with an older toolkit now skip it.

Closes #3333. Item 2 of that issue (torch CAI v2) was fixed by #3033.

test_cpp_program_with_various_options checks that cuda.core encodes each
ProgramOptions field as a flag that NVRTC accepts. An older NVRTC rejects
flags that it predates, so the test failed with NVRTC 12.6 or 12.8 for
no_cache, frandom_seed, and ofast_compile, which first appear in 12.9.

Run the test only when the NVRTC major.minor is at least the cuda-bindings
major.minor. The gate moves with cuda-bindings releases and needs no
per-option version table. It makes the per-option PCH gates (12.8)
redundant, so remove them.

Closes NVIDIA#3333.

- Line 240: **important: Gate only unsupported option cases.**

With cuda-bindings 13.4 and NVRTC 13.3, this skips every parameter, including
`ftz`, which NVRTC 13.3 supports.
([docs.nvidia.com](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/13.3.0/nvrtc/index.html))
This removes option coverage from supported mixed-version environments. Apply
version gates to the affected parameters instead.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Updated NVRTC version gating for program option tests. Existing debug and device-capability checks remain in place.

The parameterized C++ program-option test now uses a shared NVRTC version gate based on cuda-bindings. Individual NVRTC 12.8 skips were removed from the PCH parameters. Existing numba_debug and device-capability skips remain.

Changes: Program option tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gate option tests by NVRTC version
cuda_core/tests/test_program.py
The parameterized test uses the cuda-bindings major/minor version as its NVRTC threshold. Individual PCH parameter skips were removed.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Skip NVRTC option cases when the installed NVRTC version is below the required version [#3333] ✅
Avoid failures from torch CUDA Array Interface v2 samples [#3333] ❌ The PR does not change the CUDA Array Interface tests or their handling of v2 samples.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 69ea3

Some supported NVRTC options lose test coverage in mixed-version environments. Narrowing the skips would retain that coverage.
