Usage : nvcc [options] <inputfile>
Options for specifying the compilation phase
============================================
More exactly, this option specifies up to which stage the input files must be compiled,
according to the following compilation trajectories for different input file types:
.c/.cc/.cpp/.cxx : preprocess, compile, link
.o : link
.i/.ii : compile, link
.cu : preprocess, cuda frontend, PTX assemble,
merge with host C code, compile, link
.gpu : cicc compile into cubin
.ptx : PTX assemble into cubin.
--cuda (-cuda)
Compile all .cu input files to .cu.cpp.ii output.
--cubin (-cubin)
Compile all .cu/.gpu/.ptx input files to device-only .cubin files. This
step discards the host code for each .cu input file.
--fatbin (-fatbin)
Compile all .cu/.gpu/.ptx/.cubin input files to device-only .fatbin files.
This step discards the host code for each .cu input file.
--ptx (-ptx)
Compile all .cu input files to device-only .ptx files. This step discards
the host code for each of these input file.
--optix-ir (-optix-ir)
Compile CUDA source to OptiX IR (.optixir) output. The OptiX IR is only intended
for consumption by OptiX through appropriate APIs. This feature is not supported
with link-time-optimization (-dlto), the lto_NN -arch target, or with -gencode.
--preprocess (-E)
Preprocess all .c/.cc/.cpp/.cxx/.cu input files.
--generate-dependencies (-M)
Generate a dependency file that can be included in a make file for the .c/.cc/.cpp/.cxx/.cu
input file. If -MF is specified, multiple source files are not supported,
and the output is written to the specified file, otherwise it is written
to stdout.
--generate-dependencies-with-compile (-MD)
Generate a dependency file and compile the input file. The dependency file
can be included in a make file for the .c/.cc/.cpp/.cxx/.cu input file.
This option cannot be specified together with -E.
The dependency file name is computed as follows:
- If -MF is specified, then the specified file is used as the dependency
file name
- If -o is specified, the dependency file name is computed from the specified
file name by replacing the suffix with '.d'.
- Otherwise, the dependency file name is computed by replacing the input
file names's suffix with '.d'
If the dependency file name is computed based on either -MF or -o, then multiple
input files are not supported.
--dependency-output (-MF)
Specify the output file for the dependency file generated with -M/-MM/-MD/-MMD.
--generate-dependency-targets (-MP)
Add an empty target for each dependency.
--compile (-c)
Compile each .c/.cc/.cpp/.cxx/.cu input file into an object file.
--device-c (-dc)
Compile each .c/.cc/.cpp/.cxx/.cu input file into an object file that contains
relocatable device code. It is equivalent to '--relocatable-device-code=true
--compile'.
--device-w (-dw)
Compile each .c/.cc/.cpp/.cxx/.cu input file into an object file that contains
executable device code. It is equivalent to '--relocatable-device-code=false
--compile'.
--device-link (-dlink)
Link object files with relocatable device code and .ptx/.cubin/.fatbin files
into an object file with executable device code, which can be passed to the
host linker.
--link (-link)
This option specifies the default behavior: compile and link all inputs.
--lib (-lib)
Compile all inputs into object files (if necessary) and add the results to
the specified output library file.
--run (-run)
This option compiles and links all inputs into an executable, and executes
it. Or, when the input is a single executable, it is executed without any
compilation or linking. This step is intended for developers who do not want
to be bothered with setting the necessary environment variables; these are
set temporarily by nvcc).
File and path specifications.
=============================
--output-file <file> (-o)
Specify name and location of the output file. Only a single input file is
allowed when this option is present in nvcc non-linking/archiving mode.
--pre-include <file>,... (-include)
Specify header files that must be preincluded during preprocessing.
--objdir-as-tempdir (-objtemp)
Create intermediate files in the same directory as the object file instead
of in the temporary directory. This option will take effect only if -c, -dc
or -dw is also used.
--library <library>,... (-l)
Specify libraries to be used in the linking stage without the library file
extension. The libraries are searched for on the library search paths that
have been specified using option '--library-path'.
--define-macro <def>,... (-D)
Specify macro definitions to define for use during preprocessing or compilation.
--undefine-macro <def>,... (-U)
Undefine macro definitions during preprocessing or compilation.
--include-path <path>,... (-I)
Specify include search paths.
--system-include <path>,... (-isystem)
Specify system include search paths.
--library-path <path>,... (-L)
Specify library search paths.
--output-directory <directory> (-odir)
Specify the directory of the output file. This option is intended for letting
the dependency generation step (see '--generate-dependencies') generate a
rule that defines the target object file in the proper directory.
--compiler-bindir <path> (-ccbin)
Specify the directory in which the host compiler executable resides. The
host compiler executable name can be also specified to ensure that the correct
host compiler is selected. In addition, driver prefix options ('--input-drive-prefix',
'--dependency-drive-prefix', or '--drive-prefix') may need to be specified,
if nvcc is executed in a Cygwin shell or a MinGW shell on Windows.
--allow-unsupported-compiler (-allow-unsupported-compiler)
Disable nvcc check for supported host compiler versions. Using an unsupported
host compiler may cause compilation failure or incorrect run time execution.
Use at your own risk. This option has no effect on MacOS.
--archiver-binary <path> (-arbin)
Specify the path of the executable for the archiving tool used to createstatic
libraries with '--lib'. If unspecified, a platform-specific defaultis used.
--cudart {none|shared|static} (-cudart)
Specify the type of CUDA runtime library to be used: no CUDA runtime library,
shared/dynamic CUDA runtime library, or static CUDA runtime library.
Allowed values for this option: 'none','shared','static'.
Default value: 'static'.
--cudadevrt {none|static} (-cudadevrt)
Specify the type of CUDA device runtime library to be used: no CUDA device
runtime library, or static CUDA device runtime library.
Allowed values for this option: 'none','static'.
Default value: 'static'.
--libdevice-directory <directory> (-ldir)
Specify the directory that contains the libdevice library files when option
'--dont-use-profile' is used. Libdevice library files are located in the
'nvvm/libdevice' directory in the CUDA toolkit.
--target-directory <string> (-target-dir)
Specify the subfolder name in the targets directory where the default include
and library paths are located.
--use-local-env (-use-local-env)
By default nvcc assumes that the MSVC environment needs to be initialized.
This is done by executing the appropriate command file available for the
MSVC installation detected or specified. Initializing the environment for
each nvcc invocation can add noticeable overheads. If the environment used
to invoke nvcc has already been configured, this option can be used to skip
this step.
Options for specifying behavior of compiler/linker.
===================================================
--profile (-pg)
Instrument generated code/executable for use by gprof (Linux only).
--debug (-g)
Generate debug information for host code.
--device-debug (-G)
Generate debug information for device code. If --dopt is not specified, then
turns off all optimizations. Don't use for profiling; use -lineinfo instead.
--generate-line-info (-lineinfo)
Generate line-number information for device code.
--optimization-info <kind>,... (-opt-info)
Provide optimization reports for the specified kind of optimization. The
following tags are supported:
inline: Emit remarks related to function inlining. Inlining passmay
be invoked multiple times by the compiler and a function notinlined in an
earlier pass may be inlined in a subsequent pass.
Allowed values for this option: 'inline'.
--optimize <level> (-O)
Specify optimization level for host code.
--dopt <kind> (-dopt)
Enable device code optimization. When specified along with '-G', enables
limited debug information generation for optimized device code (currently,
only line number information). When '-G' is not specified, '-dopt=on' is
implicit.
Allowed values for this option: 'on'.
--dlink-time-opt (-dlto)
Perform link-time optimization of device code. Link-time optimization must
be specified at both compile and link time; at compile time it stores high-level
intermediate code, then at link time it links together and optimizes the
intermediate code.If that intermediate is not found at link time then nothing
happens. Intermediate code is also stored at compile time with the --gpu-code='lto_NN'
target. The options -dlto -arch=sm_NN will add a lto_NN target; if you want
to only add a lto_NN target and not the compute_NN that -arch=sm_NN usually
generates, use -arch=lto_NN. The options '-dlto -dlink -ptx -o <file.ptx>'
will cause nvlink to generate <file.ptx>. If -o is not used, the file generated
will be a_dlink.dlto.ptx.
--lto (-lto)
Alias for -dlto.
--gen-opt-lto (-gen-opt-lto)
Run the optimizer passes before generating the LTO IR.
--ftemplate-backtrace-limit <limit> (-ftemplate-backtrace-limit)
Set the maximum number of template instantiation notes for a single warning
or error to <limit>. A value of 0 is allowed, and indicates that no limit
should be enforced. This value is also passed to the host compiler if it
provides an equivalent flag.
--ftemplate-depth <limit> (-ftemplate-depth)
Set the maximum instantiation depth for template classes to <limit>. This
value is also passed to the host compiler if it provides an equivalent flag.
--no-exceptions (-noeh)
Disable exception handling for host code.
--shared (-shared)
Generate a shared library during linking. Use option '--linker-options'
when other linker options are required for more control.
--x {c|c++|cu} (-x)
Explicitly specify the language for the input files, rather than letting
the compiler choose a default based on the file name suffix.
Allowed values for this option: 'c','c++','cu'.
--std {c++03|c++11|c++14|c++17|c++20} (-std)
Select a particular C++ dialect. Note that this flag also turns on the corresponding
dialect flag for the host compiler.
Allowed values for this option: 'c++03','c++11','c++14','c++17','c++20'.
--no-host-device-initializer-list (-nohdinitlist)
Do not implicitly consider member functions of std::initializer_list as __host__
__device__ functions.
--no-host-device-move-forward (-nohdmoveforward)
Do not implicitly consider std::move and std::forward as __host__ __device__
function templates.
--expt-relaxed-constexpr (-expt-relaxed-constexpr)
Experimental flag: Allow host code to invoke __device__ constexpr functions,
and device code to invoke __host__ constexpr functions.Note that the behavior
of this flag may change in future compiler releases.
--extended-lambda (-extended-lambda)
Allow __host__, __device__ annotations in lambda declaration.
--expt-extended-lambda (-expt-extended-lambda)
Alias for -extended-lambda.
--machine {64} (-m)
Specify 64 bit architecture.
Allowed values for this option: 64.
Default value: 64.
--m64 (-m64)
Equivalent to --machine=64.
Options for passing specific phase options
==========================================
These allow for passing options directly to the intended compilation phase. Using
these, users have the ability to pass options to the lower level compilation tools,
without the need for nvcc to know about each and every such option.
--compiler-options <options>,... (-Xcompiler)
Specify options directly to the compiler/preprocessor.
--linker-options <options>,... (-Xlinker)
Specify options directly to the host linker.
--archive-options <options>,... (-Xarchive)
Specify options directly to library manager.
--ptxas-options <options>,... (-Xptxas)
Specify options directly to ptxas, the PTX optimizing assembler.
--nvlink-options <options>,... (-Xnvlink)
Specify options directly to nvlink.
Miscellaneous options for guiding the compiler driver.
======================================================
--forward-unknown-to-host-compiler (-forward-unknown-to-host-compiler)
Forward unknown options to the host compiler. An 'unknown option' is a command
line argument that starts with '-' followed by another character, and is
not a recognized nvcc flag or an argument for a recognized nvcc flag.
Note: If the unknown option is followed by a separate command line argument,
the argument will not be forwarded, unless it begins with the '-' character.
E.g.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-to-host-compiler -foo=bar a.cu' will forward '-foo=bar'
to host compiler.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-to-host-compiler -foo bar a.cu' will report an error
for 'bar' argument.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-to-host-compiler -foo -bar a.cu' will forward '-foo'
and '-bar' to host compiler.
--forward-unknown-to-host-linker (-forward-unknown-to-host-linker)
Forward unknown options to the host linker. An 'unknown option' is a command
line argument that starts with '-' followed by another character, and is
not a recognized nvcc flag or an argument for a recognized nvcc flag.
Note: If the unknown option is followed by a separate command line argument,
the argument will not be forwarded, unless it begins with the '-' character.
E.g.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-to-host-linker -foo=bar a.cu' will forward '-foo=bar'
to host linker.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-to-host-linker -foo bar a.cu' will report an error
for 'bar' argument.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-to-host-linker -foo -bar a.cu' will forward '-foo'
and '-bar' to host linker.
--forward-unknown-opts (-forward-unknown-opts)
Implies the combination of options: -forward-unknown-to-host-linker and -forward-unknown-to-host-compiler.
E.g.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-opts -foo=bar a.cu' will forward '-foo=bar' to the
host linker and compiler.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-opts -foo bar a.cu' will report an error for 'bar'
argument.
'nvcc -forward-unknown-opts -foo -bar a.cu' will forward '-foo' and '-bar'
to the host linker and compiler.
--dont-use-profile (-noprof)
Nvcc uses the nvcc.profiles file for compilation. When specifying this option,
the profile file is not used.
--dryrun (-dryrun)
Do not execute the compilation commands generated by nvcc. Instead, list
them.
--verbose (-v)
List the compilation commands generated by this compiler driver, but do not
suppress their execution.
--threads <number> (-t)
Specify the maximum number of threads to be created in parallel when compiling
for multiple architectures. If <number> is 1 or if compiling for one architecture,
this option is ignored. If <number> is 0, the number of threads will be the
number of CPUs on the machine.
--split-compile <number> (-split-compile)
Specify the maximum amount of concurrent threads to to be utilized when running
compiler optimizations. If <number> is 1, this option is ignored. If <number>
is 0, the number of threads will be the number of CPUs on the machine.
This option will have minimal (if any) impact on performance of the compiled
binary.
--split-compile-extended <number> (-split-compile-extended)
[Experimental] Specify the maximum amount of concurrent threads to to be
utilized when running compiler optimizations. If <number> is 1, this option
is ignored. If <number> is 0, the number of threads will be the number of
CPUs on the machine.
This option is a more aggressive form of split compilation, and can potentially
impact performance of the compiled binary.
--keep (-keep)
Keep all intermediate files that are generated during internal compilation
steps.
--keep-dir <directory> (-keep-dir)
Keep all intermediate files that are generated during internal compilation
steps in this directory.
--save-temps (-save-temps)
This option is an alias of '--keep'.
--clean-targets (-clean)
This option reverses the behavior of nvcc. When specified, none of the compilation
phases will be executed. Instead, all of the non-temporary files that nvcc
would otherwise create will be deleted.
--time <file name> (-time)
Generate a comma separated value table with the time taken by each compilation
phase, and append it at the end of the file given as the option argument.
If the file is empty, the column headings are generated in the first row
of the table. If the file name is '-', the timing data is generated in stdout.
--run-args <arguments>,... (-run-args)
Used in combination with option --run to specify command line arguments for
the executable.
--input-drive-prefix <prefix> (-idp)
On Windows, all command line arguments that refer to file names must be converted
to the Windows native format before they are passed to pure Windows executables.
This option specifies how the current development environment represents
absolute paths. Use '/cygwin/' as <prefix> for Cygwin build environments,
and '/' as <prefix> for MinGW.
--dependency-drive-prefix <prefix> (-ddp)
On Windows, when generating dependency files (see --generate-dependencies),
all file names must be converted appropriately for the instance of 'make'
that is used. Some instances of 'make' have trouble with the colon in absolute
paths in the native Windows format, which depends on the environment in which
the 'make' instance has been compiled. Use '/cygwin/' as <prefix> for a
Cygwin make, and '/' as <prefix> for MinGW. Or leave these file names in
the native Windows format by specifying nothing.
--drive-prefix <prefix> (-dp)
Specifies <prefix> as both --input-drive-prefix and --dependency-drive-prefix.
--dependency-target-name <target> (-MT)
Specify the target name of the generated rule when generating a dependency
file (see '--generate-dependencies').
--no-align-double --no-align-double
Specifies that '-malign-double' should not be passed as a compiler argument
on 32-bit platforms. WARNING: this makes the ABI incompatible with the cuda's
kernel ABI for certain 64-bit types.
--no-device-link (-nodlink)
Skip the device link step when linking object files.
Options for steering GPU code generation.
=========================================
--gpu-architecture <arch> (-arch)
Specify the name of the class of NVIDIA 'virtual' GPU architecture for which
the CUDA input files must be compiled.
With the exception as described for the shorthand below, the architecture
specified with this option must be a 'virtual' architecture (such as compute_50).
Normally, this option alone does not trigger assembly of the generated PTX
for a 'real' architecture (that is the role of nvcc option '--gpu-code',
see below); rather, its purpose is to control preprocessing and compilation
of the input to PTX.
For convenience, in case of simple nvcc compilations, the following shorthand
is supported. If no value for option '--gpu-code' is specified, then the
value of this option defaults to the value of '--gpu-architecture'. In this
situation, as only exception to the description above, the value specified
for '--gpu-architecture' may be a 'real' architecture (such as a sm_50),
in which case nvcc uses the specified 'real' architecture and its closest
'virtual' architecture as effective architecture values. For example, 'nvcc
--gpu-architecture=sm_50' is equivalent to 'nvcc --gpu-architecture=compute_50
--gpu-code=sm_50,compute_50'.
-arch=all build for all supported architectures (sm_*), and add PTX
for the highest major architecture to the generated code.
-arch=all-major build for just supported major versions (sm_*0), plus the
earliest supported, and add PTX for the highest major architecture to the
generated code.
-arch=native build for all architectures (sm_*) on the current system
Note: -arch=native, -arch=all, -arch=all-major cannot be used with the -code
option, but can be used with -gencode options.
Allowed values for this option: 'all','all-major','compute_50','compute_52',
'compute_53','compute_60','compute_61','compute_62','compute_70','compute_72',
'compute_75','compute_80','compute_86','compute_87','compute_89','compute_90',
'compute_90a','lto_50','lto_52','lto_53','lto_60','lto_61','lto_62','lto_70',
'lto_72','lto_75','lto_80','lto_86','lto_87','lto_89','lto_90','lto_90a',
'native','sm_50','sm_52','sm_53','sm_60','sm_61','sm_62','sm_70','sm_72',
'sm_75','sm_80','sm_86','sm_87','sm_89','sm_90','sm_90a'.
--gpu-code <code>,... (-code)
Specify the name of the NVIDIA GPU to assemble and optimize PTX for.
nvcc embeds a compiled code image in the resulting executable for each specified
<code> architecture, which is a true binary load image for each 'real' architecture
(such as sm_50), and PTX code for the 'virtual' architecture (such as compute_50).
During runtime, such embedded PTX code is dynamically compiled by the CUDA
runtime system if no binary load image is found for the 'current' GPU.
Architectures specified for options '--gpu-architecture' and '--gpu-code'
may be 'virtual' as well as 'real', but the <code> architectures must be
compatible with the <arch> architecture. When the '--gpu-code' option is
used, the value for the '--gpu-architecture' option must be a 'virtual' PTX
architecture.
For instance, '--gpu-architecture=compute_60' is not compatible with '--gpu-code=sm_52',
because the earlier compilation stages will assume the availability of 'compute_60'
features that are not present on 'sm_52'.
Allowed values for this option: 'compute_50','compute_52','compute_53',
'compute_60','compute_61','compute_62','compute_70','compute_72','compute_75',
'compute_80','compute_86','compute_87','compute_89','compute_90','compute_90a',
'lto_50','lto_52','lto_53','lto_60','lto_61','lto_62','lto_70','lto_72',
'lto_75','lto_80','lto_86','lto_87','lto_89','lto_90','lto_90a','sm_50',
'sm_52','sm_53','sm_60','sm_61','sm_62','sm_70','sm_72','sm_75','sm_80',
'sm_86','sm_87','sm_89','sm_90','sm_90a'.
--generate-code <specification>,... (-gencode)
This option provides a generalization of the '--gpu-architecture=<arch> --gpu-code=<code>,
...' option combination for specifying nvcc behavior with respect to code
generation. Where use of the previous options generates code for different
'real' architectures with the PTX for the same 'virtual' architecture, option
'--generate-code' allows multiple PTX generations for different 'virtual'
architectures. In fact, '--gpu-architecture=<arch> --gpu-code=<code>,
...' is equivalent to '--generate-code arch=<arch>,code=<code>,...'.
'--generate-code' options may be repeated for different virtual architectures.
Allowed keywords for this option: 'arch','code'.
--relocatable-device-code {true|false} (-rdc)
Enable (disable) the generation of relocatable device code. If disabled,
executable device code is generated. Relocatable device code must be linked
before it can be executed.
Default value: false.
--entries entry,... (-e)
Specify the global entry functions for which code must be generated. By
default, code will be generated for all entry functions.
--maxrregcount <amount> (-maxrregcount)
Specify the maximum amount of registers that GPU functions can use.
Until a function-specific limit, a higher value will generally increase the
performance of individual GPU threads that execute this function. However,
because thread registers are allocated from a global register pool on each
GPU, a higher value of this option will also reduce the maximum thread block
size, thereby reducing the amount of thread parallelism. Hence, a good maxrregcount
value is the result of a trade-off.
If this option is not specified, then no maximum is assumed.
Value less than the minimum registers required by ABI will be bumped up by
the compiler to ABI minimum limit.
User program may not be able to make use of all registers as some registers
are reserved by compiler.
--use_fast_math (-use_fast_math)
Make use of fast math library. '--use_fast_math' implies '--ftz=true --prec-div=false
--prec-sqrt=false --fmad=true'.
--ftz {true|false} (-ftz)
This option controls single-precision denormals support. '--ftz=true' flushes
denormal values to zero and '--ftz=false' preserves denormal values. '--use_fast_math'
implies '--ftz=true'.
Default value: false.
--prec-div {true|false} (-prec-div)
This option controls single-precision floating-point division and reciprocals.
'--prec-div=true' enables the IEEE round-to-nearest mode and '--prec-div=false'
enables the fast approximation mode. '--use_fast_math' implies '--prec-div=false'.
Default value: true.
--prec-sqrt {true|false} (-prec-sqrt)
This option controls single-precision floating-point squre root. '--prec-sqrt=true'
enables the IEEE round-to-nearest mode and '--prec-sqrt=false' enables the
fast approximation mode. '--use_fast_math' implies '--prec-sqrt=false'.
Default value: true.
--fmad {true|false} (-fmad)
This option enables (disables) the contraction of floating-point multiplies
and adds/subtracts into floating-point multiply-add operations (FMAD, FFMA,
or DFMA). '--use_fast_math' implies '--fmad=true'.
Default value: true.
--extra-device-vectorization (-extra-device-vectorization)
This option enables more aggressive device code vectorization.
Options for steering cuda compilation.
======================================
--default-stream {legacy|null|per-thread} (-default-stream)
Specify the stream that CUDA commands from the compiled program will be sent
to by default.
legacy
The CUDA legacy stream (per context, implicitly synchronizes with
other streams).
per-thread
A normal CUDA stream (per thread, does not implicitly
synchronize with other streams).

--Werror <kind>,... (-Werror)
Make warnings of the specified kinds into errors. The following is the list
of warning kinds accepted by this option:
cross-execution-space-call
Be more strict about unsupported cross execution space calls.
The compiler will generate an error instead of a warning for a
call from a __host__ __device__ to a __host__ function.
reorder
Generate errors when member initializers are reordered.
deprecated-declarations
Generate error on use of a deprecated entity.
default-stream-launch
Generate error when an explicit stream argument is not provided in
the <<<...>>> kernel launch syntax.
missing-launch-bounds
Generate error when a __global__ function does not have an explicit
__launch_bounds__ annotation.
ext-lambda-captures-this
Generate error when an extended lambda implicitly captures 'this'
Allowed values for this option: 'all-warnings','cross-execution-space-call',
'default-stream-launch','deprecated-declarations','ext-lambda-captures-this',
'missing-launch-bounds','reorder'.
--resource-usage (-res-usage)
Show resource usage such as registers and memory of the GPU code.
This option implies '--nvlink-options --verbose' when '--relocatable-device-code=true'
is set. Otherwise, it implies '--ptxas-options --verbose'.

the same format as the --generate-code value.
--list-gpu-arch (-arch-ls)
List the virtual device architectures (compute_XX) supported by the compiler
and exit. If both --list-gpu-code and --list-gpu-arch are set, the list is
displayed using the same format as the --generate-code value.
