Intel C++ Compiler Support

(1/6) > >>

Ptomaine:
Wanna ask for the Intel C++ support. I think this compiler is worth to support 'cause it's gonna be one of the standard compilers under MacOSX for Intel platforms in March 2006. And just 'cause it's the greatest compiler I've ever tested, I suppose.

Urxae:
I've never used it, but from what I've heard of it it basically emulates the VC++ command line on Windows, and the GCC command line on Linux.

So what you might want to try is this:

* Go to Settings -> Compiler.
* Make a copy of the emulated compiler for your platform.
* Rename it to "Intel C++" or similar.
* Change the name and location of the binaries in the compiler settings to those of the Intel compiler.
* Use it :D
Hope this helps.

Search C::B forum for "intel C++". Hint: Troubleshooting subforum.

Perhaps this should go in the wiki or something...

Edit: Just added it. (21/Oct/05), however I still think it should go internally due to popular demand.

You are absolutely wrong!
It supports features that none of the now-a-days-monster-compiler does! It generates code that about 10 times faster than the other compilers can produce.

It understands MS C++ compiler options and GCC for Linux. Namely, UNDERSTANDS and supports! It generates completely different, incredibly fast code for Intel processors.
It has its own command line options for optimization and code generation. It's hard to tune a project if an IDE has no support for them. That's why I create this forum thread.

I want to listen to the author's opinion who's writing the Code::Blocks now. Is it hard to implement the feature I ask?
You can download the Intel C++ compiler at Intel official site to test it and to read its documentation regarding its options.
