I do not know too much about clang, is opencl publicly supported in

Thanks

Yes. I can build OpenCL (.cl, .c, .cpp file) with clang (LLVM 3.0).
About CUDA I use NVIDIA nvcc.
I don't know if is possible to use clang for CUDA.

Clang support OpenCL, but I doubt if there is any project working on CUDA
support in Clang.

Anton@ARM commited theOpenCL patches, already.

NVIDIA did not commit the CUDA patches, yet.

I have no ideas:)

CUDA uses language extensions for its kernel functions.
These extensions are not standard C/C++ syntax.
So, by default, clang should _not_ support CUDA, unless clang's parser has been changed to accommodate those extensions.
