Adding custom filename extensions

[FJShen]

Is it possible to let the C/C++ extension also process files that ends with .cu and .cuh? I'm trying to code with CUDA, but this tool seems not to be processing those CUDA files, and I didn't find any high-quality extensions for CUDA-specific projects either.

Any other workarounds are also welcome.

Take a look at the Files: Associations setting in VS Code. If you tell VS Code to treat *.cu and *.cuh as cpp, then the C/C++ extension will start processing those files. Do note that the extension does not currently understand CUDA-specific code, so you will see squiggles for those constructs. You can work around some of those problems (e.g. certain keywords/attributes) by adding stuff like "__global__=" in the "defines" section of your c_cpp_properties.json file.

Thank you.
