Change the C++ compiller in ROS to use with openACC and CUDA

edit

I'm trying to compile a rospackage with the PGI compiler that uses openACC. I want to parallelize some code.

This works with standard c++ code and uses the pgcc / pgc++ compiler. So I tried to compile a simple ros package with this compiler. Here is the source code:

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <iostream>
#include "std_msgs/String.h"
#include <sstream>


int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "pgi_test_node");

  ros::NodeHandle n;

 ros::Publisher chatter_pub = n.advertise<std_msgs::String>("chatter", 1000);

 ros::Rate loop_rate(10);

 int cout = 0;

 while(ros::ok()) {

     std_msgs::String msg;  

     ss << heelo world" << count;


   ROS_INFO("%s", msg.data.c_str());

   chatter_pub.publish(msg);

   ros::spinOnce();

   loop_rate.sleep();
   ++count;
 }

return 0;
}

And here is the my cmakelists.txt . I've tried a lot of things but the mains change might be the compiler and its flags in the beginning.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(pgi_test)

## Compile as C++11, supported in ROS Kinetic and newer
add_compile_options(-std=c++11)

# flags
add_definitions("-DENABLE_SSE")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
   "${SSE_FLAGS}  -O3 -std=c++11 -ta=tesla:cuda9.1 -acc -Minfo=accel"
)

## Declare ROS messages, services and actions ##
################################################

## To declare and build messages, services or actions from within this
## package, follow these steps:
## * Let MSG_DEP_SET be the set of packages whose message types you use in
##   your messages/services/actions (e.g. std_msgs, actionlib_msgs, ...).
## * In the file package.xml:
##   * add a build_depend tag for "message_generation"
##   * add a build_depend and a exec_depend tag for each package in MSG_DEP_SET
##   * If MSG_DEP_SET isn't empty the following dependency has been pulled in
##     but can be declared for certainty nonetheless:
##     * add a exec_depend tag for "message_runtime"
## * In this file (CMakeLists.txt):
##   * add "message_generation" and every package in MSG_DEP_SET to
##     find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS ...)
##   * add "message_runtime" and every package in MSG_DEP_SET to
##     catkin_package(CATKIN_DEPENDS ...)
##   * uncomment the add_*_files sections below as needed
##     and list every .msg/.srv/.action file to be processed
##   * uncomment the generate_messages entry below
##   * add every package in MSG_DEP_SET to generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES ...)

## Generate messages in the 'msg' folder
# add_message_files(
#   FILES
#   Message1.msg
#   Message2.msg
# )

## Generate services in the 'srv' folder
# add_service_files(
#   FILES
#   Service1.srv
#   Service2.srv
# )

## Generate actions in the 'action' folder
# add_action_files(
#   FILES
#   Action1.action
#   Action2.action
# )

## Generate added messages and services with any dependencies listed here
# generate_messages(
#   DEPENDENCIES
#   std_msgs  # Or other packages containing msgs
# )
