care::host_device_ptrhad two constructors that sometimes led to compilation errors due to ambiguous overload resolution.Compilation would fail when constructing a
host_device_ptrfrom the integer literal0because the compiler can't decide which overload to pick. Additionally, nvcc erroneously reports ambiguity when constructing from an int in certain cases.Using a constraint resolves the ambiguity in both of those situations. The nullptr constructor will now only accept
nullptror a variable of typestd::nullptr_t. The size_t constructor will get all the rest, including0.
