Using Intel C++ compiler with Visual Studio Community Edition 2015
I recently tried to use the XE 2015 Update 6 version of the Intel C++ compiler with Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 Update 1. Even a simple Hello World console application didn’t work. I got lots of compilation errors that looked like this
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include\exception(248): error : expected an attribute name 1> [[noreturn]] _CRTIMP2_PURE void __CLRCALL_PURE_OR_CDECL __ExceptionPtrRethrow(_In_ const void*); 1> ^
There are two solutions to this problem.
- Solution 1. Downgrade Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 to the RTM version. The way I did this was to uninstall the Update 1 version and then install the RTM version using the .iso file at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48146 (Thanks to the Visual Studio twitter team for this link!)
- Solution 2. Upgrade the Intel C++ Compiler to XE 2016.
