Intel heeft een nieuwe versie van zijn C/C++-compiler Uitgebracht. Deze software is ontwikkeld om broncode op een Intel-processor zo efficiënt mogelijk te compileren. De update is beschikbaar voor zowel Linux als Windows. Wat er precies veranderd is in beide varianten kan je hieronder lezen:
Here are some of the new features
- Linux:
- New Processor Support: Provides optimization support for the latest Intel processors code-named Prescott, a new generation of IA-32 processors.
- Compiler Code-Coverage Tool: Provides software developers with the ability to see a complete picture of how much application code is exercised when a specific workload is applied. To determine which code was used, the code-coverage tool uses profile-guided optimization technology.
- Compiler Test-Prioritization Tool: Provides software developers with the ability to select and prioritize application tests as application profiles change.
- Precompiled Headers: Support both automatic and manual precompiled header processing. Under the right circumstances, this new feature can dramatically improve compilation time.
- Windows* and Linux: Compilers are sold separately for Windows and Linux, and can be purchased from resellers worldwide or from Intel directly at the Intel® Web Store.
- Multiplatform: C++ Compilers are packaged and licensed with compilers for both IA-32 and Itanium 2 processors.
- Support: Every purchase of an Intel® Software Development Product includes one year of support services, which provides access to Intel® Premier Support and all product updates during that time.
- Windows:
[break]Om gebruik te maken van de shareware-versies moet je je wel registreren. Op dezelfde pagina is het mogelijk om de software aan te schaffen:
- Provides compilers for IA-32 and Itanium 2 processors and now includes Intel® C++ Compiler for eMbedded Visual C++*, an optimizing compiler for PDAs, handheld devices, and mobile phone solutions
- Support for the latest Intel® processors: Optimization support for Intel processors code-named Prescott, a new generation of IA-32 processors
- Compiler Code-Coverage Tool allows developers to profile workloads on application code. The tool uses Intel profile-guided optimization (PGO) technology.
- Compiler Test-Prioritization Tool lets developers select and prioritize application tests as the profile of applications change
- Improved integration: Significantly improved integration with Microsoft Visual Studio* .NET 2002 and 2003
- Windows* and Linux*: Compilers are packaged and sold separately for Windows and Linux and each can be purchased from resellers around the world or directly from Intel at the Intel® Web store
