Component

libcu++

Describe the bug

Please provide a one shot command to compile & run libcu++ tests for development with the goal of simplifying contributions.

The shell script interface should:

• accept some way to select a subset of tests (e.g. a directory)
• accept some options that are relevant for testing (e.g. c++ version, sm_arch, build & serve docs locally)

The shell script should not have any dependencies beyond docker and bash.
That is, the shell script should:

• build a container that contains everything required
• compile and run tests within the container

I believe this is already done.

The script in question is: ci/test_libcudacxx.sh It takes three arguments. host_compiler, standard_version and cuda_architectures

This script works fine outside of our devcontainers given that the ctk is in path.

For the second point, there are already the devcontainers that provide a fully configured development environment.

Using VS-code starting those is just a single click

I have changed the labels to documentation improvements.

Would it be possible to provide a similar script that runs the whole thing inside the dev container directly ?

Yes, this exists and I've been working on a contributor/devcontainer guide documentation. I'll have a PR up this week for both.

Here's the first part of the docs on setting up the environment in a container: #481
