At line 295 and 380 in CGCUDANV.cpp I use a sanitizer function, which replace
all symbols without [a-zA-Z0-9._] with a '_'. It's the same solution like in
D34059. So I think, it would works in general.
Only for information. I tested it with a module name, which includes a
whitespace and without the sanitizer. It works on Linux x86 and the ELF format.
There was an whitespace in the symbol of the cuda module ctor (I checked it
with readelf).
In general, do you think my solution approach is technically okay? Your answer
will be really helpful for internal usage in our cling project. At the moment I
developed the cling-cuda-interpreter based on this patch and it would helps a
lot of, if I can say, that the patch doesn't cause any problem with the
CUDA-environment.
