How to enable syntax highlighting for CUDA .cu and .cuh files in Vim?

I found that my ~/.vimrc file has syntax on but it didn't work for any CUDA file (.cu).

Not sure to how to do it.

Solution

  • Add these two lines to ~/.vimrc:

    au BufNewFile,BufRead *.cu set ft=cuda
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.cuh set ft=cuda

    And put cuda.vim in ~/.vim/syntax/

    Have fun!
