[cfe-dev] clang-tidy and CUDA

[Jonas Toth via cfe-dev]

Please give more information how you use clang-tidy on your CUDA files.

There are currently no cuda specific checks in clang-tidy. I dont
program CUDA that much, but doesnt the CUDA compiler specify some extra
attributes and types in order to compile the device and host code?
