'OpenCL syntax highlighting in CLion

Does anyone have a solution for syntax highlighting of OpenCL code for CLion? I am placing the OpenCL source code in a file with the extension .cl and would like to have syntax highlighting for such files.

Solution 1:[1]

In CLion you can add .cl files as custom file types and manually provide the list of OpenCL C keywords for syntax highlighting.

There is an alternative to loading the OpenCL C code from a .cl file at runtime: Embedding it right within C++, such as used in this OpenCL-Wrapper. While naive string literals would destroy syntax highlighting, there is a way to retain syntax highlighting with the

#define R(...) std::string(" "#__VA_ARGS__" ")

stringification macro and by using #defines for all the OpenCL C functions and keywords.
