Add .cu Files as C++ about language-c HOT 9 CLOSED

Should .cuh be included as well?

That would make sense, I hadn't thought of that.

Are there any other cuda extensions you know of besides these two?

from language-c.

No, but I am fairly new to cuda (using it for a school assignment). I looked around and found this though which talks about it a little bit

Based on that, maybe .cuinc

from language-c.

So are CUDA files C or C++ or either?

from language-c.

I believe they can be written in C or C++ (and Fortran, but thats another issue). I referenced this:

The native language for CUDA files is C++, and I second the proposal that .cu and .cuh files be viewed as .cpp and .h files.
There's a minimal amount of extra syntax, but in my experience, most syntax highlighters deal with CUDA files fine if I just tell them they are written in C++. I'm trying atom out myself, and support for CUDA C++ files would be great.

@bryancatanzaro Sounds good, will fix now, thanks for the background.

This will be included in the next Atom release, 0.104.0
