Intel C/C++ compiler
From Cppwiki
The Intel C/C++ compiler is a compiler for C and C++ for Intel IA-32 (including EM64T) and IA-64 CPUs, released by Intel. It is available for Linux, Microsoft Windows and MacOS X. Intel also provides a Fortran compiler for the same platforms. Intel C/C++ often generates faster code than the platform's native compiler for Intel CPUs.
Intel C/C++ is a commercial product, but a free non-commercial license is available for Linux users.
Intel also provides several companion tools, such as VTune (a profiler) and Intel Thread Checker, a program to find concurrency errors in multithreaded programs.
Notable language extensions
- On Linux, most GCC extensions are supported
- #pragma once
- #pragma ident
- precompiled headers (#pragma hdrstop)
