Feature request: owlBufferUpload not implemented for managed memory buffers, host mapped buffers

[natevm]

More of a feature request than an issue.

I'm trying to convert my owlDeviceBuffers into owlManagedMemoryBuffers, to enable device-side memory oversubscription. However, since owlBufferUpload isn't implemented for owlManagedMemoryBuffers, I need to refactor my code to instead memcpy into a pointer through owlBufferGetPointer(). owlBufferGetPointer then wants me to specify which device the buffer belongs to, but managed memory and host memory don't belong to a particular device, so this is somewhat confusing.

If owl were to implement the same owlBufferUpload API for both managed memory buffers and host mapped buffers, it would be easier to refactor code to make the switch back and forth.

Is this issue still active? According to the code I just looked at upload is implemented for both host-pinned an managed mem buffers; the only functionality that's not "trivially" implemented is buffer upload to a specific device ID, because for host-pinned and managed memory buffers this doesn't really make sense. (though even for those there are proper and error messages in that case
)

Yeah, I think this has since been fixed. I can close the issue.
