This is a first step and we will have to move these files into the common folder (see the RFC). The macro definition will be in the device specific parts and they can then use whatever device (language) specific extensions they want without making these part specific to that device (language) extension. That is, after all, the main motivation behind these patches.

> I think that it's useful to think about this in the following way: We often write code that requires, at least given some configuration of the preprocessor, various extensions to standard C++. CUDA and HIP are C++ extensions. Code using __builtin_frame_address or `__attribute__((always_inline))` or vector intrinsics is code using C++ extensions. If the code can only be compiled with CUDA extensions enabled, then by all means, using .cu is appropriate. If it can be compiled without use of C++ extensions, or with a wide variety of C++ extensions, given different configurations of the preprocessor, then just calling it a "C++" source file seems reasonable.
Hal, I agree, but this code cannot be compiled without cuda correctly.  You need to generate the device code for these functions and because of this they must be marked as `__device__` functions. This is cuda specific modifier that tells the compiler that we don't need the host version of this code, just the device part. But if you think that this is not important, ok, mark it as c++.
