When using NVCC with Clang as the host compiler (
nvcc -ccbin=clang-17
), including fmt currently fails (at least on Linux) withThis PR disables the use of _BitInt in that case.
I was thinking it might be related to NVCC requiring the use of libstdc++ and prohibiting libc++ in most cases, but forcing libc++ with
-Xcompiler=-stdlib=libc++ -D_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_LIBCPP
did not get rid of the error.I'm guessing it has not cropped up earlier due the use of fmt with CUDA code probably not being too common and Nvidia generally recommending GCC over Clang as the host compiler.
