Research direction

Start with Runtime.h and inspect the declaration of FPC_FILE_NAME and how it is located when optimizations are enabled. Compare the current declaration with the initializer shown in the issue, then run the repository's tests to confirm that they pass on 9.0.1 and that the variable remains discoverable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

In the Runtime.h file the following declaration causes problems:

__device__ static char *_FPC_FILE_NAME_[1];

When optimizations are applied, this global variable is lost (or optimized out), but we need to find it.

This seems to solve the problem:

__device__ const static char *_FPC_FILE_NAME_[1] = {"none"};
