Description

CUB and Thrust both allow for custom namespaces via e.g. CUB_NS_PREFIX and CUB_NS_POSTFIX, such that multiple shared libraries can each utilize their own copy of it (and thus different versions can safely coexist). (see NVIDIA/thrust#1401 )

cuco should also implement this feature.

Research direction

No cuco files or tests are named. Start by reviewing how CUB_NS_PREFIX and CUB_NS_POSTFIX work in CUB and the corresponding Thrust implementation, then trace cuco's public symbols and namespace declarations. Done means separate shared libraries can use different cuco versions without symbol conflicts.
