[Issue]: hip::host not working for NVIDIA Platforms

[wme7]

Problem Description

I'm working in porting a kaiju CUDA/C++17 project. To do this, I'm using an Nvidia-based workstation. Moreover, I'm using HIP 6.2.4 on top of a cudaToolKit 12.6, and to play safe, I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 as my OS. All packages installations went smoothly.

My target is to port my code on a AMD platform with ROCm 6.0.1 and a GPU architecture "gfx90a",

However, while doing this porting work, I started to notice that my build with HIP on my Nvidia platform always fail due to linkage errors. Investigating on the matter further, I started to suspect that the hip::host module is not doing its job as indicated in the HIP documentation: Consuming the HIP API in C++ code

I reported this issue on the discourse.cmake. But after inspecting the build trace and have a CMake maintainer being able to reproduce my issue, I suspect that the NVIDIA-backed implementation of HIP's cmake is to blame.

Here, I request an investigation of this issue.

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat)

CPU

11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz

GPU

NVIDIA Corporation GA100 [A100 SXM4 40GB] (rev a1)

ROCm Version

ROCm 6.2.4

ROCm Component

HIP

Steps to Reproduce

A full reproductive example is explained in this post on the discourse.cmake forum.

For the sake of completeness, I here also attach a full copy of the example to reproduce and study the issue:

devEvent_library.zip

(Optional for Linux users) Output of /opt/rocm/bin/rocminfo --support

$ /opt/rocm/bin/rocminfo --support
ROCk module is NOT loaded, possibly no GPU devices

Additional Information

I have verified that my example works well on AMD Platforms with MI200x GPUs.

Again, the issue is that when the present example is build on any NIVIDA Platform, the CMake build fail usually in linking process like no hip::host module exist in the process. Producing an output like:

$ cmake ..

Let me remark that this example builds and executes correctly on any AMD Platform, but fails to build on any NVIDIA Platform.
