Question

I wanted to know where does VS 2008 look for file if it is in the form

#include<large.cu>

Also, where does it look if in the form

#include"large.cu"

Also, suppose I have 2 files under the same project and I want file a to know about the functions in file b, how do I do that?

Answer 1

In the first case the file is located in the default directory of the compiler/IDE. As @Casey points out if you add directories to the IDE’s path these will also be searched when looking for include files in this format.

In the second case the file is located in the same directory as your source files.

To add a directory to the IDE’s path select Tools > Options… > Projects and Solutions > VC++ Directories then add a new directory to the list box on that page. Assuming cuda looks in those directories of course.
