+In the ``-fno-gpu-rdc`` mode, the compiler calculates the resource usage of kernels based only on functions present within the same Translation Unit (TU). This mode does not support the use of function pointers defined in a different TU due to the possibility of incorrect resource usage calculations, leading to undefined behavior.
