Dynamic compilation and linking on Windows

[johanseland]

The docs righly state that dynamic compilation and linking is now working on Windows. Is there any plans to remedy this situation?

a) Did you mean "not" working? Can you point me to the doc snippet that you're referring to?
b) I believe it does work, the only caveat being that nvcc calls out to a C compiler (Visual C/C++, I think), so if you don't have that, you have a problem.

As something to think about, dynamic compilation is completely bulletproof in (Py)OpenCL. (i.e. no extra software required)

Oops. I see that I submitted this bug for PyCuda and not for CodePy (the dangers of multiple tabs and projects with very similar names I guess :) ).

I can confirm that JITting works very well on Windows for me using PyCuda 2012.1, and that it truly makes for an enjoyable CUDA-programming experience! Thanks for a great library.

On CodePy on the other hand the docs (http://documen.tician.de/codepy/) are quite clear that currently only the Linux/GNU toolchain is currently supported for dynamic linking and compilation. So my issue is still valid, but should be in the CodePy issue-tracker instead.

Life will be even better. I'm currently working on 'modepy', just to confuse you even more. :)
