Introducing the Intel® C++ Compiler Classic

Using the Intel® C++ Compiler, you can compile and generate applications that can run on Intel® 64 architecture. You can also create programs for the IA-32 architecture on Windows* and Linux*.

Intel® 64 architecture applications can run on the following:

IA-32 architecture applications can run on the following:

Note

Starting with the 19.0 release of the Intel® C++ Compiler, macOS* 32-bit applications are no longer supported. If you want to compile 32-bit applications, you must use an earlier version of the compiler and you must use Xcode* 9.4 or earlier.

Unless specified otherwise, assume the information in this document applies to all supported architectures and all operating systems.

You can use the compiler in the command-line or in a supported Integrated Development Environment (IDE):

See the Release Notes for complete information on supported architectures, operating systems, and IDEs for this release.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
