问题描述
如其他问题所述，根据链接，您不能再为此函数使用符号名称。现在该功能消失了，什么时候想要使用 cudaMemCpy ？你什么时候想使用它？什么是权衡或利益？
As stated by other questions and according to the link, you can no longer use the symbol name for this function. Now that the feature is gone, when would ever want to use this over cudaMemCpy? When would you ever want to use it at all? What is the tradeoff or benefit?

推荐答案
简而言之，因为 cudaMemcpy 作为 cudaMemcpyToSymbol ，无需额外的API调用。考虑一个常数内存数组：
In short, because cudaMemcpy can't do the same thing as cudaMemcpyToSymbol without an additional API call. Consider a constant memory array:
__constant__ float coeffs[8];
要使用 cudaMemcpyToSymbol ，只是做
cudaMemcpyToSymbol(coeffs, hostData, 8*sizeof(float));
要使用 cudaMemcpy ：
float *dcoeffs;
cudaGetSymbolAddress((void **)&dcoeffs, coeffs);
cudaMemcpy(dcoeffs, hostData, 8*sizeof(float), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
直接调用 cudaMemcpy
