CUDA Unified Memory and use of std::vector in device code

Back in the days, std::vector was not allowed in CUDA device code. Is that still true with current cuda 10.2 toolkit with Unified Memory?

I have a few public data members of type std::vector in a class that is passed reference to be used by a device kernel.

nvcc complains about calling a host function("std::vector...) ... from a global function("...) not allowed.

What is the correct way to use unified memory, if at all possible, to use on an std::vector? If it is not possible, is there an efficient work-around?

Yes.

There is not one. It isn't possible. There is no C++ standard library support on the device.

No there is not.
