Intel C++ Compiler is a complete software suite that includes a debugger and comprehensive C/C++ compiler.
One of the key features of this application is its optimization technology, which helps improve application performance. Additionally, it provides support for multithreaded applications and takes full advantage of Hyper-Threading technology.
Compatibility with GNU C is another significant factor in the popularity of the Intel C++ Compiler. The tool offers substantial source and object code compatibility with GCC and G++ 3.x/4.x, making it easier to work with applications developed using these languages.
Before using the Intel C++ Compiler, ensure that your system meets the application's requirements. You'll need a Linux system with glibc 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.93, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4, or 2.3.5 and the 2.4.X or 2.6.X Linux kernel. Several distributions, including Fedora Core 6, Mandriva Linux 2007, Red Flag DC Server 5.0, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5, SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9, 10 and TurboLinux 10, support this application.
Finally, Intel C++ Compiler requires Linux Developer tools component installed, including GCC 3.2 or later, G++, and related tools. The Linux component compat-libstdc++ providing libstdc++.so.5 must also be installed to ensure smooth operation of the application. Overall, this application is an excellent choice for developers who want to optimize their applications for Intel-based systems.
