def load_nvidia_dynamic_lib(libname: str) -> LoadedDL:
"""Load an NVIDIA dynamic library by name.
Args:
libname (str): The short name of the library to load (e.g., ``"cudart"``,
``"nvvm"``, etc.).
Returns:
LoadedDL: Object containing the OS library handle and absolute path.
**Important:**
**Never close the returned handle.** Do **not** call ``dlclose`` (Linux) or
``FreeLibrary`` (Windows) on the ``LoadedDL._handle_uint``.
**Why:** the return value is cached (``functools.cache``) and shared across the
process. Closing the handle can unload the module while other code still uses
it, leading to crashes or subtle failures.
This applies to Linux and Windows. For context, see issue #1011:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/issues/1011
Raises:
DynamicLibUnknownError: If ``libname`` is not a recognized library name.
DynamicLibNotAvailableError: If ``libname`` is recognized but not
supported on this platform.
DynamicLibNotFoundError: If the library cannot be found or loaded.
RuntimeError: If Python is not 64-bit.
Search order:
0. **Already loaded in the current process**
- If a matching library is already loaded by some other component,
return its absolute path and handle and skip the rest of the search.
1. **NVIDIA Python wheels**
- Scan installed distributions (``site-packages``) to find libraries
shipped in NVIDIA wheels.
2. **Conda environment**
- Conda installations are discovered via ``CONDA_PREFIX``, which is
defined automatically in activated conda environments (see
https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/stable/user-guide/environment-variables.html).
3. **OS default mechanisms**
- Fall back to the native loader:
- Linux: ``dlopen()``
- Windows: ``LoadLibraryW()``
- CUDA Toolkit (CTK) system installs with system config updates are often
discovered via:
- Linux: ``/etc/ld.so.conf.d/*cuda*.conf``
- Windows: ``C:\\Program Files\\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\\CUDA\\vX.Y\\bin``
on the system ``PATH``.
4. **Environment variables**
- If set, use ``CUDA_HOME`` or ``CUDA_PATH`` (in that order).
5. **CTK root canary probe (discoverable libs only)**
- For selected libraries whose shared object doesn't reside on the
standard linker path (currently ``nvvm``), attempt to derive CTK
root by system-loading a well-known CTK canary library in a
subprocess and then searching relative to that root.
**Driver libraries** (``"cuda"``, ``"nvml"``):
These are part of the NVIDIA display driver (not the CUDA Toolkit) and
are always on the system linker path. For these libraries the search
is simplified to:
0. Already loaded in the current process
1. OS default mechanisms (``dlopen`` / ``LoadLibraryW``)
The CTK-specific steps (site-packages, conda, ``CUDA_HOME``, canary
probe) are skipped entirely.
Notes:
The search is performed **per library**. There is currently no mechanism to
guarantee that multiple libraries are all resolved from the same location.
