Do we want something like
_CCCL_TRY_CUDA_API

It could also be a function.

This function should be more or less equivalent to _CCCL_TRY_CUDA_API, am I missing some key difference here? I would have no issues turning it into a macro instead if its preffered

I believe a function is "cleaner" than a macro, but the macro cannot go as we cannot depend on cudax.
Otherwise we would need to move the function into libcu++

We might need two separate functions/macros because driver API returns CUresult and runtime returns cudaError_t.
But these have the same values, so maybe we can add a cast to _CCCL_TRY_CUDA_API and remove this function 🤔

why are we dynamically loading these functions instead of including
<cuda.h>
and linking tolibcuda

We would need to require -lcuda compilation flag otherwise. This is more in line with the current CUDA runtime which does not require the compilation flag. There are compatibility reasons why current CUDA runtime does that and we probably want the same thing

directly linking to
libcuda.so
means that any consuming library would only run on machines with the CUDA driver installed. This would mean that any application with runtime logic to dispatch to CUDA vs CPU based on HW support would fail to load when launched on a machine without the CUDA driver.From a build engineer standpoint linking to libcuda.so should never happen
