CUDA_RESOLVE_DEVICE_SYMBOLS — CMake 3.23.1 Documentation

# CUDA_RESOLVE_DEVICE_SYMBOLS

New in version 3.9.

CUDA only: Enables device linking for the specific library target where required.

If set, this will tell the required compilers to enable device linking on the library target. Device linking is an additional link step required by some CUDA compilers when `CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION` is enabled. Normally device linking is deferred until a shared library or executable is generated, allowing for multiple static libraries to resolve device symbols at the same time when they are used by a shared library or executable.

By default static library targets have this property is disabled, while shared, module, and executable targets have this property enabled.

Note that device linking is not supported for Object Libraries.

For instance:

    set_property(TARGET mystaticlib PROPERTY CUDA_RESOLVE_DEVICE_SYMBOLS ON)
