Adding documentation about compiling extension with CUDA 11.5 and Windows
Example of failure: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/runs/4408796098?check_suite_focus=true
Note: Don't use torch/extension.h In CUDA 11.5 under windows in your C++ code:
Use aten instead of torch interface in all cuda 11.5 code under windows. It has been failing with errors, due to a bug in nvcc.
Example use:
#include <ATen/ATen.h>
at::Tensor SigmoidAlphaBlendForwardCuda(....)
Instead of:
#include <torch/extension.h> torch::Tensor SigmoidAlphaBlendForwardCuda(...)
Currently open issue for nvcc bug: #69460
