llvm dev - Jun 2017 - [CUDA] Error when compiling CUDA kernel with new/delete

Hi, 

I was compiling some CUDA code, which builds fine with nvcc, but I got the
following error when using clang:


 
/home/acg/llvm/build/bin/clang++ -lcudart -std=c++11 axpy.cu
--cuda-gpu-arch=sm_35 -I/usr/local/cuda/samples/common/inc



 
ptxas fatal   : Unresolved extern function '_Znam'
 
clang-4.0: error: ptxas command failed with exit code 255 (use -v to see
invocation)




The kernel code is as follows: 




 
__global__ void axpy(float a, float* x, float* y) {
 
  int * _z = new int[16];
 
  _z[ threadIdx.x] = x[threadIdx.x];
 
  y[threadIdx.x] = a * x[threadIdx.x];
 
  __syncthreads();
 
  delete[] _z;
 
}




new/delete seems to be causing the failure, as the error goes away if we remove
the new/delete statements.




Any ideas on how to resolve this?




Thanks!
