In general CUDA is compatible with C99. Thus, in practice when editing files (*predefines.h*, *problem-definition.h* or *logger.h*) you can use C language irrespectively to code variants (`st` or `td`). There is only one exception related to function `delta_ext` in *problem-definition.h* file. It declaration is In general, CUDA is compatible with C99.

The change arises from incompatibility of complex type in C99 and CUDA. Namely: The change arises from the incompatibility between the complex type in C99 and that in CUDA. Namely:
