install cuda 8 with ubuntu 17.04 because cuda 9 compiler loops

Question

How do I install Cuda 8 under Ubuntu 17.04, although it is not listed as supported? I need it because the following code causes nvcc 9 not to terminate:

#include <thrust/device_vector.h>
using thrust::device_vector;

struct T : public thrust::binary_function<int, int, int> {
  // m=1000 compile loops.  m=10 compiles.
  static const int m = 1000;
  int d[m];
  __host__ __device__
  int operator()(const int i, const int j) const  {
return i+d[j];
  }
};

int main(void) {
  device_vector<int> a(10), b(10), c(10);
  T f;
  transform(a.begin(), a.end(), b.begin(), c.begin(), f);
}

This is a MWE tediously extracted from a much larger program.

Previously, the larger program compiled and ran fine. Indeed, an executable compiled under cuda 8 in an earlier Ubuntu release runs fine in the cuda 9 environment.

Thanks.

My other options would be to revert my whole system to an earlier Ubuntu release or to rework my algorithm to find something that nvcc can handle.

CUDA 9.1 fixed it.
