New Intel Compiler Released

Posted by Hemos on from the test-it-out dept.

swsnyder writes "A new toy to play with: new Intel compiler (v7.0) available for download at Intel's site. The Windows version is a time limited eval version, but the Linux version is free for non-commercial use. This version is claimed to be even more GCC-compatible that the last version, though I haven't verified this yet."

    shouldn't it be more standards compliant

      Nope, being more compatible with gcc implies it supports more gcc extensions. That's one reason why the Linux kernel used to break so much between gcc versions, as gcc is chock full of neat and not so neat extensions to the C language.

    Wow. These Intel guys are fast: Three new C++ compilers within 48 hours!
