thrust::device_vector constructor failed with "invalid device function"

Question

I encountered a strange error when trying to construct a thrust::device_vector<unsigned char> using thrust::device_vector<unsigned char> data(10). The error was "parallel_for failed: invalid device function".

Here are my minimum code to re-produce this error.

main.cpp

#ifdef UNIT_TEST

#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
#include "catch.hpp"

#endif      // UNIT_TEST

myheader.h

#ifndef MYHEADER_H_
#define MYHEADER_H_

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <thrust/device_vector.h>

namespace AAA {
namespace BBB{

using byte_t = unsigned char;

using ByteValues = std::vector<byte_t>;
using DByteValues = thrust::device_vector<byte_t>;

#define NaB byte_t(-1)        // Not-a-Byte

}           // namespace BBB
}           // namespace AAA

#endif      // MYHEADER_H_

mytest.cu

#include "catch.hpp"
#include "myheader.h"

namespace AAA {
namespace BBB {

TEST_CASE("Test thrust::device_vector", "[thrust::device_vector]") {
    SECTION("constructor should work") {
        REQUIRE_NOTHROW( DByteValues(10) );
    }
}

}
}
