gpu/impl/PQScanMultiPassNoPrecomputed.cu(27): error: function "faiss::gpu::isSupportedNoPrecomputedSubDimSize" has already been defined

gpu/impl/PQScanMultiPassNoPrecomputed.cu(51): error: class template "faiss::gpu::LoadCodeDistances" has already been defined

gpu/impl/PQScanMultiPassNoPrecomputed.cu(123): error: function template "faiss::gpu::pqScanNoPrecomputedMultiPass" has already been defined

3 errors detected in the compilation of "/tmp/tmpxft_0007f108_00000000-11_PQScanMultiPassNoPrecomputed.compute_75.cpp1.ii".

Reproduction instructions

Compiling current master on Linux with GPU should be enough. I am also a maintainer of AUR faiss package

I’m looking into this.

@wickedfoo For some reason, both PQCodeDistances.cu and PQScanMultiPassNoPrecomputed.cu are back in Faiss 1.6.3, causing the same errors. Removing those files resolves the issue.

I removed the files in question from the repo, clone again and see if it fixes this issue, and I will close it if so.

@dvzubarev I’m looking separately at the Turing architecture build issue.
