Description
Moving discussion of inducer/pycuda#25 over here, where it should have been in the first place.
The docs righly state that dynamic compilation and linking is now working on Windows. Is there any plans to remedy this situation?
I have had a small peek on how the toolchains are being set up in CodePy, and I guess it should be possible to add MSVC to it as well. Continuing on this path, will one not potentially end up with having duplicated a cross-platform build system in Python. Would it not be better to utilize Bjam? It should be available on any system using Boost anyway to abstract away the platform independent anyways?
(On CUDA systems nvcc also does the build platform abstraction, so adding a third one
seems a bit excessive, CMake is of course another alternative to cross platform building, which also can call NVCC.)
Or is this new modePy-stuff going to replace CodePy
