Introduction

This paper describes the compatibility between Intel® Compilers for Linux* and GNU compilers in terms of source, binary, and command-line compatibility. The Intel® C++ and Fortran Compilers help make your software run at top speeds on Intel platforms, including IA-32, processors with Intel® EM64T, and Intel® Itanium® processor-based systems. The compilers also provide compatibility with commonly-used Linux softwaredevelopment tools.

Overview

Intel C++ Compiler 9.0 for Linux provides excellent source and binary compatibility with the GNU GCC compiler. Compared to previous versions, Intel C++ Compiler 9.0 has improved compiler-option compatibility with GCC and general improvements related to the GCC build environment.

The motivation for improved compatibility comes from customer requests in several areas:

• Mixing and matching binary files created by g++, including third-party libraries
• Generating C++ code compatible with g++ 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4
• Building the Linux kernel with the Intel Compiler with fewer workarounds
• Improved support for command-line options offered in the GNU compilers
