[CUDA][HIP] Fix overriding of constexpr virtual function

[yxsamliu]

In C++20 constexpr virtual function is allowed. In C++17 although non-pure virtual function is not allowed to be constexpr, pure virtual function is allowed to be constexpr and is allowed to be overriden by non-constexpr virtual function in the derived class.

The following code compiles as C++:

class A
{
public:
    constexpr virtual int f() = 0;
};

class B : public A
{
public:
    int f() override
    {
        return 42;
    }
};

However, it fails to compile as CUDA or HIP code. The reason: A::f() is implicitly host device function whereas B::f() is a host function. Since they have different targets, clang does not treat B::f() as an override of A::f(). Instead, it treats B::f() as a name-hiding non-virtual function for A::f(), and diagnoses it.

This causes any CUDA/HIP program using C++ standard header file <format> from g++-13 to fail to compile since such usage patten show up there:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13/../../../../include/c++/13/format:3564:34: error: non-virtual member function marked 'override' hides virtual member function
 3564 |       _M_format_arg(size_t __id) override
      |                                  ^
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13/../../../../include/c++/13/format:3538:30: note: hidden overloaded virtual function 'std::__format::_Scanner<char>::_M_format_arg' declared here
 3538 |       constexpr virtual void _M_format_arg(size_t __id) = 0;
      |                              ^

This is a serious issue and there is no workaround.

This patch allows non-constexpr function to override constexpr virtual function for CUDA and HIP. This should be OK since non-constexpr function without explicit host or device attribute can only be called in host functions.
