表达式必须具有指向对象的类型

Question

I have the following code in CUDA

__global__ void matvec(int *MAT, int *VEC, int *SOL)
{
   int bx = blockIdx.x;
   int tx = threadIdx.x;
   int i = 32*bx+tx;
   for (int j = 0; j < X; j++){
    SOL[i] = ((MAT[i][j] * VEC[j]) + SOL[i]) % 2;
   }
}

My problem is that in line 6 I have an error. It says that my expression must have a pointer-to-object type.

Answer 1

The reason for the error is that you are treating a pointer as a 2D array. You define MAT as int *MAT , but you access it as MAT[i][j] .

Assuming you have correctly allocated MAT , I would change this to MAT[i*X + j] . Alternatively, define MAT as int **MAT , again, assuming you have allocated it correctly.

(BTW, this is not a CUDA problem, it is a simple C syntax error.)
