Silent error (?)

[kyungjoo-kim]

I happen to use the following code.

using policy_type = Kokkos::TeamPolicy<Kokkos::Cuda>;
policy_type policy(N, AUTO);

const ordinal_type level = 2; 
const ordinal_type per_team_extent = some_work_size_as_extent;
const ordinal_type per_team_scratch =Scratch<real_type_1d_view>::shmem_size(per_team_extent);                    
policy.set_scratch_size(level, Kokkos::PerTeam(per_team_scratch));                                              
                                                                                                                      
Kokkos::parallel_for                                                                                              
      ("test",
       policy.set_scratch_size(level, Kokkos::PerTeam(per_team_scratch)),
       KOKKOS_LAMBDA(const typename policy_type::member_type &member) { 
         do_things_with_shared_memory;
});

As you see in this example code I accidently set the shared memory level 2. Then, the code does not complain in the compile stage but it just skip the "test" parallel for without sending an error. This might not be correct error handling.

I don't think there is a way to catch this mistake at compile time but we can add a runtime check.

thanks. I do not expect to catch this error in compile time, either.
