I don't even know how we're "using" a TranslationUnitDecl, but neither this case not the case for `NamespaceDecl` should be recursively using every declaration declared inside it.  If there's a declaration in a namespace that's being used, it should be getting visited as part of the actual use of it.

IMO, this approach is strange, and we should register entry points in some manner (functions marked as emitted to the device in some fashion), then just follow its call-graph (via the clang::CallGraph?) to emit all of these functions.

> Sure, but `visitUsedDecl` isn't the right place to be entering the walk.  `visitUsedDecl` is supposed to be the *callback* from the walk.  If they need to walk all the global declarations to find kernels instead of tracking the kernels as they're encountered (which would be a *much* better approach), it should be done as a separate function.

The deferred diagnostics could be initiated by non-kernel functions or even host functions.

Let's consider a device code library where no kernels are defined. A device function is emitted, which calls a host device function which has a deferred diagnostic. All device functions that are emitted need to be checked.

Same with host functions that are emitted, which may call a host device function which has deferred diagnostic.

Also not just function calls need to be checked. A function address may be taken then called through function pointer. Therefore any reference to a function needs to be followed.

In the case of OpenMP, the initialization of a global function pointer which refers a function may trigger a deferred diangostic. There are tests for that.
