Description

TransformIterator currently ignores its op state, instead using only the underlying iterator's state to compose its state bytes. This PR makes it so that if the op of a TransformIterator is stateful, we combine the op state with the underlying iterator's state. The dereference operator is modified to decompose the states and handle them appropriately.

Closes #11142

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Stateful transform operations can now be used with transform, output, and nested zip iterators.
    • Iterator state is combined and aligned correctly when multiple stateful components are composed.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed state propagation for state-backed operations, ensuring reductions and other iterator-based computations produce correct results.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for stateful operations across transform, output, and nested iterator combinations.

Changes

RawOp state propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
State alignment and composition
python/cuda_cccl/cuda/compute/op.py, python/cuda_cccl/cuda/compute/_jit.py, python/cuda_cccl/cuda/compute/iterators/_base.py
Operation adapters expose state alignment. Iterator and operation state blobs are combined with padding and offsets.
Transform iterator state wiring
python/cuda_cccl/cuda/compute/iterators/_transform.py, python/cuda_cccl/tests/compute/test_raw_op.py
Transform iterators store operation-state offsets and pass state pointers to stateful input and output transforms. Regression tests cover direct and nested iterator compositions.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Pass RawOp state through TransformIterator and TransformOutputIterator [#11142]
Produce the expected state-backed transform result instead of a zero result [#11142]

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 06be3

Stateful transform operations now receive their runtime state correctly, but an invalid zero alignment on a stateful RawOp can fail iterator construction on the host. Validate alignment before merge.

important: Validate state_alignment before returning it. A RawOp with nonempty state and state_alignment=0 reaches compose_state_blobs() through TransformIterator; its padding calculation then raises ZeroDivisionError. Raise ValueError for non-positive or non-integer alignments in RawOp.__init__.

Important: please add similar tests to the numba path as well (since these changes support that)

# state, so that the generated deref glue (see _make_input_deref_op /
# _make_output_deref_op) has a pointer to hand the op as its `state`
# argument.

Critical: different values of the op state still trigger a full recompile. TransformIterator.kind includes self._transform_op, and RawOp._identity includes self._state, so two iterators that differ only in the state bytes hash differently and we build the whole algorithm again. With the scale_by_state op from the new tests, same state reuses the cached reducer in 0.00s and a different state rebuilds in about 1.1s. For the mean use case in #11142 every distinct n recompiles, which defeats the point of passing it as state.

Since the state is now rebound on every call, only its length and alignment affect the generated code (they fix the offset baked into the deref glue). Could we replace self._state in RawOp._identity with len(self._state)? The Numba path has the same problem inside a TransformIterator for a different reason (_StatefulOp.__eq__ compares _JitOpState by identity)

nit: this block is a copy of the one in _make_input_deref_op (line 185), with only the argument order swapped. A small helper along the lines of _op_decl_and_call(compiled_op, in_expr, out_expr) returning the declaration and call strings would keep the two prototypes in one place, so a future change to the stateful signature only needs to happen once.

nit: line 110 above goes through bytes(memoryview(...)) while this one calls bytes(...) directly on the same IteratorState. Both work, but it reads like they are doing different things. Could we pick one form and use it in both branches?

1. cuda.compute double-buffer radix sort worker crash on Windows CTK 12.0 · 1 job

Explanation: The sysctk job lost an xdist worker while the int64/1024 DoubleBuffer radix-sort case was running, with no Python exception or native exit code in the log. The PR does not modify radix-sort code and its added stateful TransformIterator tests pass in this job, so a crash dump or isolated reproduction is needed to distinguish a platform/toolkit defect from a latent binding bug.

Evidence:

2026-09-04T14:56:42.9535150Z worker 'gw0' crashed while running 'tests/compute/test_radix_sort.py::test_radix_sort_keys_double_buffer[int64-1024]'

Affected jobs:
- Python nvcc MSVC / Eo / [CTK12.0 MSVC14.44 py3.14 ctk-sysctk] Test cuda.compute(amd64, L4): https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/actions/runs/33881479764/job/101059355489

Reproduce this narrowly in the Windows CTK 12.0, MSVC 14.44, Python 3.14 sysctk environment by running tests/compute/test_radix_sort.py::test_radix_sort_keys_double_buffer[int64-1024] first with -n 0 and then repeatedly with the CI -n 6 setting. Enable Python faulthandler and collect the worker exit code/native crash dump; inspect DoubleBuffer selector handling, radix-sort FFI argument marshalling, temporary-storage lifetime, synchronization, and CUDA error propagation. Implement the root fix if reproducible; if it is confirmed to be a CTK 12.0 Windows-only toolchain defect, add the narrowest documented version/platform quarantine rather than a broad skip. Validate the failed case, adjacent DoubleBuffer radix-sort dtypes and sizes, and the three new stateful TransformIterator RawOp tests.

2. cuda.compute large radix sort exits with Windows status 0xC0000409 · 1 job

Explanation: The pinned-package job terminates the serial large-test process during the uint8/1,048,576-key radix sort; -1073740791 corresponds to Windows status 0xC0000409, and no traceback or crash dump was emitted. The PR does not modify radix-sort code and all added stateful TransformIterator tests had already passed, so the evidence is insufficient to attribute the native termination to the PR.

Evidence:

2026-09-04T14:59:37.7466796Z compute tests (large) failed (exit code -1073740791)

Enable Python faulthandler and Windows native crash-dump collection, repeat the case to establish stability, and add explicit CUDA synchronization and error checks to locate whether the failure originates in build/link, temporary-storage sizing, compute dispatch, or host copy. Implement the root fix if confirmed; if 0xC0000409 is an external CTK 12.0 Windows defect, use a narrowly justified platform/version quarantine. Validate the failed large case, smaller uint8 radix sorts, the double-buffer int64/1024 case, and the new stateful TransformIterator RawOp tests.
