How do I Invoke the compiler? |
Answer: The Getting Started document gives detailed instructions on configuring, setting environment variables, and invoking your Intel compiler. Note that most compilers support both command-line and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) versions. Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture, Intel® 64 architecture, IA-64 architecture; Operating System - Windows*, Linux*, Mac OS*; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the product Release Notes and Installation Guide for additional invocation information. Refer the Getting Started topics in the compiler User Documentation for detailed information for your compiler. |
|
What are the processor-specific compiler options for Intel compilers? |
Answer: The /Qx option (Windows) and -x option (Linux and Mac OS) generate processor-specific instructions. These options generate some specialized code for specific Intel processors that can result in better performance on specific Intel processors for some types of applications. Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture and Intel® 64 architecture; Operating System - Windows, Linux; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the Building Applications and Optimizing Applications sections of the compiler online documentation for detailed information for your compiler. |

How can I resolve a LNK2001:unresolved external symbol __security_check_cookie on Windows 2003 RC1 message? |
Answer: This applies to Microsoft Windows Server 2003* with Service Pack 1 SDK - RC1 (Build 1289) and later. The work-around is to link with the bufferoverflowU.lib, bufferoverflowK.lib, or bufferoverflow.lib library or use /MD (for example: icl hello.c /MD). Applicability: Architecture - IA-64 architecture; Operating System - Windows; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the Software Product Support solution at http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/c/windows/sb/CS-020442.htm for a more detailed answer. |

How can I address "New Calling Convention Used in Windows* Server 2003 x64 RC1 (Bld 1289) or Newer" issues? |
Answer: Changes to Windows 2003, x64 Edition - RC1 (Build 1289) and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK (Build 1289 or later) calling conventions affect the saving and restoring of XMM registers used in SSE, SSE2, and SSE3 code between function calls. If you are using Intel compilers for Intel® 64 architecture on Windows, then upgrade to, and rebuild with, new Intel® C++ version 8.1.025 or later and Fortran Compilers for Windows version 8.1.028 or later, editions on Intel® 64 architecture. Applicability: Architecture - Intel® 64 architecture architecture; Operating System - Windows; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the Software Product Support solution at http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/c/windows/sb/CS-020438.htm for a more detailed answer. |

How is the OpenMP* specification supported in Intel compilers? |
Answer: Intel C++ Compiler 9.0 (and earlier) supports version 2.0 of the OpenMP specification. The Intel C++ Compiler 9.1 (and later) supports version 2.5 of the OpenMP specification. There are some qualifications and limitations associated with this support as noted in the solution web page. Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture, Intel® 64 architecture, IA-64 architecture; Operating System -Windows, Linux, Mac OS; Language - C++ More Detail: Refer to the Software Product Support solution at http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/c/linux/sb/cs-007720.htm for a more detailed answer. |
|
What are the compatability and requirements for Intel compilers working with Microsoft Visual C++* .NET and Visual C++ 2005? |
Answer: The compatability and software requirements for each compiler with respect to working with Microsoft Visual Studio* .NET and Visual Studio 2005 are described in the product Release Notes. Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture, Intel® 64 architecture, IA-64 architecture; Operating System - Windows; Language - C++ More Detail: Refer to the Software Product Support solution at http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/c/windows/sb/cs-007750.htm for a more detailed answer. |
| Are the Intel libraries for Intel compilers thread safe? |
Answer: The C++ libraries, with the exception of libirc.a, are thread safe. The Fortran libraries, with the exception of libirc and libifccore, are thread safe. Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture, Intel® 64 architecture, IA-64 architecture; Operating System - Linux, Mac OS; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the Software

for a more detailed answer on C++. |
| Why is an icc, icpc, or ifort command not recognized? |
Answer: In the Linux environment you need to do the appropriate "source" command. The Getting Started document gives detailed instructions on configuring and setting environment variables for Intel compiler. Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture, Intel® 64 architecture, IA-64 architecture; Operating System - Windows, Linux; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the product Release Notes and Installation Guide for additional invocation information. Refer to the Getting Started topics in the compiler User Documentation for detailed information for your compiler. |

How do I build mixed-language applications in Visual Studio? |
Answer: In Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 it was possible to have a project that contained both C++ and Fortran source files. In Microsoft Visual Studio .NET it is not possible to have mixed languages within the same project. To work around this issue, create separate projects within a Visual Studio .NET solution, one or more containing your C++ source and one or more containing your Fortran source. Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture, Intel® 64 architecture, IA-64 architecture; Operating System - Windows; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the Software

How do I begin running my program under the Visual Studio debugger? |
Answer: For full support of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, you should install the 9.1 version of the Intel® C++ Compiler or Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler. The Intel® Debugger 9.0 as well as the Intel® C++ or Intel® Visual Fortran compiler 8.1 must be uninstalled before you can start the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 IDE debugger. Failure to do so will result in an error indicating "MSDIA80.dll cannot be loaded". Applicability: Architecture - IA-32 architecture, Intel® 64 architecture, IA-64 architecture; Operating System - Windows; Language - C++, Fortran More Detail: Refer to the Software Product Support solution at http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/fortran/windows/sb/CS-007848.htm for a more detail on Visual Studio. Refer to the Software Product Support solution at http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/sb/CS-022760.htm for a more detailed answer on the debugger. |
