Intel C++ compiler as an alternative to Microsoft's?

Asked 2009-12-30T20:07:50.847

Is anyone here using the Intel C++ compiler instead of Microsoft's Visual c++ compiler?

I would be very interested to hear your experience about integration, performance and build times.

c++ visual-studio icc

I tried using Intel C++ at my previous job. IIRC, it did indeed generate more efficient code at the expense of compilation time. We didn't put it to production use though, for reasons I can't remember.

One important difference compared to MSVC is that the Intel compiler supports C99.
