I have just installed the Nvidia GPU Computing Toolkit 4.0 and the GPU Computing SDK 4.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I am using VS2010. I am a user of VS 2008 and am new to VS2010. After I installed all the CUDA components, I ran the bandwidthTest executable and everything seemed to work fine. Next, as recommended by the Getting Started with Windows document, I tried to compile bandwidthTest using VS2010, but was unable. After trying several things, I’ve determined that I can compile any CUDA example that does not use .cu files (cudaEncode and deviceQuery for example), but cannot compile any CUDA examples that use .cu files. When I attempt to compile clock for example, the build fails and I get the following output:

The “error : namespace “std” has no member “nullptr_t”” occurs with every VS2010 project that I attempt to compile with *.cu source files. There is obviously something that happens when *.cu files are included that is not being handled well. I would appreciate any help.
