# vim-cuda-syntax

Syntax highlighting for CUDA in Vim. Compared to Vim's default CUDA syntax file,

it adds highlighting of all CUDA defined:

- types

- enums

- constants

- global variables

- namespaces

- thrust keywords

All keywords are accumulated from the [CUDA Toolkit Documentation][toolkit].

Optionally triple-angle brackets in CUDA kernel calls can be highlighted.

## Screenshot











## Limitations

1. Highlighting of the triple angle-brackets in CUDA kernel calls works only

   when the angle brackets are on the same line. The function name is only

   highlighted when called without template arguments, i.e. `MyKernel` won't be

   highlighted in `MyKernel<<>>(data)`.

2. CUDA [data fields][data-fields] are not highlighted because many keywords

   have familiar names which could collide with either user-defined variables

   (like `ptr`, `x`, `y`), or with C++ standard library types (like `function`

   or `array`) and would mess up the highlighting. If you want structure or

   class member variables appearing after the `.` or `->` operators highlighted,

   use for example [vim-cpp-modern][vim-cpp-modern].

3. Functions are not highlighted by default. There are plenty of other Vim

   syntax plugins that provide this feature for C/C++ files. See for example

   [vim-cpp-modern][vim-cpp-modern].

## Optional features

```vim

" Enable highlighting of CUDA kernel calls

let g:cuda_kernel_highlight = 1

" Highlight keywords from CUDA Runtime API

let g:cuda_runtime_api_highlight = 1

" Highlight keywords from CUDA Driver API

let g:cuda_driver_api_highlight = 1

" Highlight keywords from CUDA Thrust library

let g:cuda_thrust_highlight = 1

```

## Installation

```bash

$ cd ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start

$ git clone https://github.com/bfrg/vim-cuda-syntax

```

**Note:** The directory name `git-plugins` is arbitrary, you can pick any other

name. For more details see `:help packages`.

Alternatively, use your favorite plugin manager.

## FAQ

> I want everything in-between the triple angle-brackets highlighted to get a

> more distinct highlighting of kernel calls.

Add the following lines to `~/.vim/after/syntax/cuda.vim` (create the file if

it doesn't exist):

```vim

syntax match cudaKernelAngles "<<<\_.\{-}>>>"

highlight link cudaKernelAngles Operator

```

> I want the CUDA language extensions (`__device__`, `__host__`, etc.)

> highlighted like the standard C/C++ keywords.

Add the following to `~/.vim/after/syntax/cuda.vim`:

```vim

highlight link cudaStorageClass Statement

```
