thrust::system::cpp::universal_pointer

template<typename T>
using thrust::system::cpp::universal_pointer = thrust::pointer<T, cpp::tag, ::cuda::std::add_lvalue_reference_t<T>>

cpp::universal_pointer stores a pointer to an object allocated in memory accessible by the cpp system and host systems.

cpp::universal_pointer has pointer semantics: it may be dereferenced and manipulated with pointer arithmetic.

cpp::universal_pointer can be created with cpp::universal_allocator or by explicitly calling its constructor with a raw pointer.

The raw pointer encapsulated by a cpp::universal_pointer may be obtained by either its get member function or the raw_pointer_cast function.

Note

cpp::universal_pointer is not a “smart” pointer; it is the programmer’s responsibility to deallocate memory pointed to by cpp::universal_pointer.

Template Parameters:

T – specifies the type of the pointee.
