Error using CUDA with Julia 1.9.1

[liusulin]

I was running the binomial_mnist.jl in examples on CUDA with julia binomial_mnist.jl and run into this error:

ERROR: LoadError: InvalidIRError: compiling kernel init_mar!(CuDeviceMatrix{Float32, 1}, CuDeviceVector{Union{ProbabilisticCircuits.BitsMul, ProbabilisticCircuits.BitsSum, ProbabilisticCircuits.BitsInput{ProbabilisticCircuits.BitsBinomial}}, 1}, CuDeviceMatrix{UInt8, 1}, UnitRange{Int64}, CuDeviceVector{Float32, 1}, Int32, Int32, ProbabilisticCircuits.var"#input_init_func#50") resulted in invalid LLVM IR
Reason: unsupported dynamic function invocation (call to depwarn(msg, funcsym; force) @ Base deprecated.jl:121)

Julia version: 1.9.1. ProbabilisticCircuits version: 0.4.1.
It seems depwarn is deprecated and thus causing the error. Can you help check and tell me the versions needed to run the package? Thanks very much!

I suspect something we call has been depreatd in new Julia version and causing issues. The code that handles cuda kernel calls is a bit delicate since a lot of type inference is happening but cuda kernels don't like that. The errors we get are not that informative due to weird way cuda type inference was/is handled from julia at the time.

• Could you try running it on earlier version of Julia? Last time I ran this was > a year ago.

• Also do you get similar errors when running other examples like examples/cat_hclt_mnist.jl?
