I think the real question is: what does a 'cuDeviceGetCount' fail mean?

Does it mean a serious error – or could it just be a permissions issue 
such that the user has no device access but otherwise is fine?

Because if it is, e.g., a permission problem – just returning '0' (no 
devices) would seem to be the proper solution.

But if it is expected to be always something serious, well, then a fatal 
error makes more sense.

The possible exit codes are:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, 
CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE

which does not really help.

My impression is that 0 is usually returned if something goes wrong 
(e.g. with permissions) such that an error is a real exception. But all 
three choices seem to make about equally sense: either host fallback 
(with 0 or -1) or a fatal error.
