the CUDA language option would never be set, and so CUDA functionality<br>

option based on the -std or the input file kind.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I feel like we're missing some part of the design here. We only have a single 'LangStandard' value active at once, but for (say) an OpenCL build, we need *both* an OpenCL standard *and* a C standard.</div>
<div><br></div><div>At the same time, we have a long-standing issue where setting up CFLAGS is difficult: there's no nice way to say "use C11 for C, and use C++11 for C++", because build systems usually use the C compilation flags plus some extra C++-specific flags for C++ builds, so we cannot put -std=c11 into the C compilation flags (that makes the C++ builds fail).</div>
<div><br></div><div>This suggests to me that our 'language standard' should perhaps be a tuple of all the relevant standards, so you could specify that you're using C89, C++11, OpenCL v1.2, Blocks v<whatever>, OpenMP v<whatever> ... for builds where those standards are relevant.</div>
