Setting up Visual Studio Intellisense for CUDA kernel calls

by

Wow, lots of dust on this thread. I came up with a macro fix (well, more like workaround…) for this that I thought I would share:

// nvcc does not seem to like variadic macros, so we have to define
// one for each kernel parameter list:
#ifdef __CUDACC__
#define KERNEL_ARGS2(grid, block) <<< grid, block >>>
#define KERNEL_ARGS3(grid, block, sh_mem) <<< grid, block, sh_mem >>>
#define KERNEL_ARGS4(grid, block, sh_mem, stream) <<< grid, block, sh_mem, stream >>>
#else
#define KERNEL_ARGS2(grid, block)
#define KERNEL_ARGS3(grid, block, sh_mem)
#define KERNEL_ARGS4(grid, block, sh_mem, stream)
#endif

// Now launch your kernel using the appropriate macro:
kernel KERNEL_ARGS2(dim3(nBlockCount), dim3(nThreadCount)) (param1);

I prefer this method because for some reason I always lose the ‘<<<‘ in my code, but the macro gets some help via syntax coloring :).
