This document is for version 2021.4 of the compilers.
This document contains information about the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (icx/icpx/spcpp/dpcpp-cl) compiler and runtime environment. The Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler can be found in the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit, Intel® oneAPI IoT Toolkit, or as a stand-alone compiler. More information and specifications can be found on the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler main page.
The following are some important aspects of the compiler:
Compiler Setup |
Compiler Setup explains how to invoke the compiler on the command line or from within an IDE. NotemacOS* is not supported for the icx/icpx or dpcpp compilers. For macOS or Xcode* support, visit the icc compiler: Intel® C++ Compiler Classic Developer Guide and Reference |
OpenMP* Support |
The compiler supports OpenMP* 5.0 Version TR4 features, and some OpenMP* Version 5.1 features. |
Compiler Options |
Compiler Options provides information about options you can use to affect optimization, code generation, and more. This document provides an Alphabetical List of Compiler Options for your reference. Clang compiler options are supported for this compiler. For more information about Clang options, see the Clang documentation. The Clang website is https://clang.llvm.org/. |
Intrinsics |
Intrinsics let you generate more readable code, simplify instruction scheduling, reduce debugging, access the instructions that cannot be generated using the standard constructs of the C and C++ languages, and more. For details about available intrinsics, see the interactive Intel® Intrinsics Guide at https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/. |
Pragmas |
Pragmas provide the compiler with instructions for specific tasks, including splitting large loops into smaller ones, enabling or disabling optimization for code, or offloading computation to the target. |
