What's New in This Release
Compiler for Two Architectures
This document combines information about IntelŪ C++ Compiler for IA-32-based
applications and Itanium(TM)-based applications. IA-32-based applications
correspond to the applications run on any IntelŪ PentiumŪ processor, Intel
Celeron®
processor, or Intel Xeon(TM).
Itanium-based
applications correspond to the applications run on the IntelŪ Itanium(TM)
processor.
The
following variations of the compiler are provided for you to use according
to your host system's processor architecture:
- IntelŪ C++ Compiler
for 32-bit Applications is designed for IA-32 systems, and its
command is icc. The IA-32 compilations run on
any IA-32 Intel processor and produce applications that run only on IA-32
systems. This compiler can be optimized specifically for the Intel Pentium
processor or Intel Pentium 4 processor.
- IntelŪ C++ Itanium(TM)
Compiler for Itanium(TM)-based Applications is designed for Itanium
architecture systems, and its command is ecc.
This compiler runs on Itanium-based systems and produces Itanium-based
applications. Itanium-based compilations can only operate on Itanium-based
systems.
