Constant memory in jitified kernels

[qavl]

Hi!
I have a template kernel which also uses constant memory. Can I somehow make this constant memory visible for a kernel if I use jitify for its instantiation?

Thank you

Hi @qavl

I prototyped how to do this in jitify, though my implementation wasn't very robust when the __constant__ memory declarations were located in a namespace. Since then, CUDA 10.1 has added support for looking up the name of __constant__ variables which would easily allow us to add robust support for this in Jitify. I've had it on my todo list for a while to get this done, so it's good to have someone asking for it 😄

I can try to get to this in the next few weeks. Would the constraint of requiring CUDA 10.1 or above be acceptable?
