Hi,

I'm trying to use shared memory in a device function but I get the message:

SHARED attribute ignored on dummy argument totals_shared

and then:
Error 3 Internal compiler error. Unexpected runtime function call 0

The shared memory is declared properly in the kernel (size known at compile time) and passed as reference to the function, I have tried all different ways to declare the shared memory, but I don't seem to be able to get around this problem.

Hi David,

Dummy arguments can't have the shared attribute, so you'll need to remove it from the declarations in the Multigrid function. You'll still be using shared memory since you pass in the addresses of the shared arrays so the code should function as expected.

Hope this helps,
Mat

By the way, do you know what the
": error F0000 : Internal compiler error. Unexpected runtime function call 0"

really means?, I get that from time to time...

Hi David,

In this case, the message is coming from the NVIDIA back end compiler. Most likely we're presenting it with some intermediate code it doesn't like. Though, I'd need a reproducing example to understand what "function call 0" means.
