You should NEVER make any changes to the $VIMRUNTIME directory tree
because any upgrade (the day after tomorrow, or three years from now)
can silently undo your changes. If that happens, you won't be warned,
but suddenly something won't be working the way it used to.
In this case, what you should do (until or unless a proper
indent/cuda.vim appears below your $VIMRUNTIME directory as you keep
your runtime files up to date) is add the following one-line file as
$VIM/vimfiles/indent/cuda.vim:
runtime! indent/c.vim
You should also tell Bram that Cuda files can use C indenting, but since
he reads this newsgroup, that's already done.
Note: All paths above are given in Vim terminology, which is similar to
Unix terminology but works also on Vim for Windows. Create any
not-yet-existent directory as you go along. $VIM is usually the parent
of your $VIMRUNTIME directory, probably something like "C:\Program
Files\Vim" but if you type just $VIM as part of a path within Vim
(including as part of a path to be passed to the :!mkdir or :!md
command) it'll know what it means and you'll get the desired result.
Best regards,
Tony.
