Why compiler gives error?

thrust::host_vector<int> A;
thrust::host_vector<int> B;

int rand_from_0_to_100_gen(void)
{
     return rand() % 100;
}


__host__ void generateVector(int count) {


    thrust::host_vector<int> A(count);
    thrust::generate(A.begin(),A.end(),rand_from_0_to_100_gen);

    thrust::host_vector<int> B(count);
    thrust::generate(B.begin(),B.end(),rand_from_0_to_100_gen);
}

__host__ void displayVector(int count){

    void generateVector(count);

    cout << A[1];


}

In above code, why i cannot display vector values? it gives error at 

void generateVector(count);

that says incomplete is not allowed Why? What's wrong here? What might be the possible solution?

You are calling the function generateVector incorrectly inside the function displayVector. It should be like this:

generateVector(count);

Also, you are creating vectors A and B inside the function generateVector which will be local to the function and thrust::generate will operate on these local vectors. The global vectors A and B would not be modified. You should remove the local vectors to achieve what you want. Instead call host_vector::resize for for the global vectors A and B to allocate memory.

The final code should be like this:

thrust::host_vector<int> A;
thrust::host_vector<int> B;

int rand_from_0_to_100_gen(void)
{
    return rand() % 100;
}

__host__ void generateVector(int count) 
{
    A.resize(count);
    thrust::generate(A.begin(),A.end(),rand_from_0_to_100_gen);

    B.resize(count);
    thrust::generate(B.begin(),B.end(),rand_from_0_to_100_gen);
}

__host__ void displayVector(int count)
{
    generateVector(count);
    cout << A[1]<<endl;
}
