The docs are terribly out of date. I'll update them soon.

In general, there's no owner for CUDA compilation with clang on windows, no
testing infstastructure, etc, so things tend to bitrot.

At the moment clang-10 or newer should be able to compile CUDA on windows.
It's not something that's been tested widely, but I did manage to compile a
trivial kernel recently.
The likely source of the problems will be with the code which replies on
using standard C++ library in the device-side code. Clang on linux has a
set of header wrappers which works for a subset of libc++ and libstdc++.
MSVC's standard library is quite different and I'd expect code that uses
something like std::complex<...> to fail in interesting ways.
