In some environments, libraries containing device code are installed in
directories searched by the host linker but not passed by nvcc to
nvlink. Make these libraries available by explicitly passing the
host linker search directories during device linking.
Issue: #16317
The CUDA compiler automatic deprecation warnings are pure noise when
doing device linking, and should be suppressed to reduce the amount of
confusion from users.
Fix the default values of `CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS[_<CONFIG>]` on Windows to
make the host compiler flags match those produced for C++ by the
`Platform/Windows-MSVC` module. This makes the flags consistent with
those used for C++.
On Windows with MSVC-like host compilers we must honor the standard
libraries chosen by the `Platform/Windows-MSVC` module. Otherwise C
code linked into the CUDA binary that expects to have these libraries
available may not link.
Previously we had a two issues when building cuda executables
that required separable compilation. The first was that we didn't
propagate FLAGS causing any -arch / -gencode flags to be dropped, and
secondly generators such as ninja would use the CXX language flags
instead of CUDA when the executable was mixed language.
Port Windows-specific compilation and linking rules over from the
`Platform/Windows-MSVC` module and adapt it for NVIDIA CUDA. On Windows
nvcc and its host compiler (MSVC) do not understand or use options like
`-fPIC` or `-std=`, so condition those out.
