hipMemcpyHtoDAsync wants a void pointer instead of a const void*

[HannoSpreeuw]

Problem Description

Problem similar to #3422

A call to hipMemcpyHtoDAsync with similar types of arguments as a succesful call to cuMemcpyHtoDAsync gives

error: invalid conversion from 'const void*' to 'void*' [-fpermissive]
      |     .............(hipMemcpyHtoDAsync(devPtr, hostPtr, size, _obj));
      |                                              ^~~~~~~
      |                                              |
      |                                              const void*

The problem is with the type of the second argument of this call to hipMemcpyHtoDAsync .

I.e. one cannot give the same types of arguments to hipMemcpyHtoDAsync as one would to cuMemcpyHtoDAsync, which means that running hipconvertinplace-perl.sh is not sufficient.

Discussing with the team internally. Will update.

Hi @HannoSpreeuw, sorry for the lack of updates. A patch to address this has been implemented internally. It should be released within the next few ROCm versions. I will be closing this ticket for now, thanks!
