I've searched all over for some insight on how exactly to use classes with CUDA, and while there is a general consensus that it can be done and apparently is being done by people, I've had a hard time finding out how to actually do it.
I have a class which implements a basic bitset with operator overloading and the like. I need to be able to instantiate objects of this class on both the host and the device, copy between the two, etc. Do I define this class in a .cu? If so, how do I use it in my host-side C++ code? The functions of the class do not need to access special CUDA variables like threadId; it just needs to be able to be used host and device side.
Thanks for any help, and if I'm approaching this in completely the wrong way, I'd love to hear alternatives.
