Description
Provides a workaround for the compute-sanitizer issue described in #15258 causing memcheck failures in nightly builds.
An environment variable is introduced
LIBCUDF_MEMCHECK_ENABLED
so test code can bypass specific tests that cause the compute-sanitizer error. The env var is set only during memcheck tests since the failure does not occur in normal testing.The failure only occurs for some
int16
oruint16
reduction tests so managing these few tests is reasonable.Other possible workarounds include
Using the latest version is more desirable since the fix will likely not be back ported.
This disables checking for almost all reduction kernels
