Compilation: compiler finds both std::to_address and cuda::std::to_address

[BenjaminKrummenacher]

Describe the bug
I'm trying to build the Nvidia Minkowski Engine.
However, I get this error:

error: more than one instance of overloaded function "std::__to_address" matches the argument list:
            function template "_Tp *cuda::std::__4::__to_address(_Tp *) noexcept" (declared at line 277 of /usr/local/cuda-12.4/targets/x86_64-linux/include/cuda/std/detail/libcxx/include/__memory/pointer_traits.h)
            function template "_Tp *std::__to_address(_Tp *) noexcept" (declared at line 156 of /usr/include/c++/9/bits/ptr_traits.h)

you can solve it by modify the code in /usr/include/c++/9/bits/ptr_traits.h from ''auto __raw = __to_address(__r.get())" to ''auto __raw = std::__to_address(__r.get())"

you should modify shared_ptr_base.h from ''auto __raw = __to_address(__r.get())" to ''auto __raw = std::__to_address(__r.get())"

Magically worked for me! I'm using ubuntu 20.04 with cuda 12.4
