Cool. Thanks for the info. It would be nice if Intel would provide Python developers with a permanent icc license for Python. Can anyone help with that? > 4. don't try the Intel install.sh, it won't work > (atleast, it didn't work for me) I don't follow directions very well (I'm also a doubter), so I had to try it myself. :-) It worked for me on gentoo amd64 non-root install. I needed to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ~/intel/cce/9.0/lib, but otherwise it was pretty painless. This worked: CC=icc ./configure --without-cxx But I think this should work too: CC=icc CXX=icc ./configure I've fixed a bunch of problems on HEAD. I think I will move to ssize branch since that will be a much bigger help. I have some outstanding modifications, but here are the results of make: http://python.org/neal/icc-warnings.txt Summary (type, warning count, description): warning.#170: 2 pointer points outside of underlying object (obmalloc.c PT(0)) warning.#188: 14 enumerated type mixed with another type warning.#810: 1478 conversion from "long" to "int" may lose significant bits warning.#1418: 137 external definition with no prior declaration warning.#1419: 53 external declaration in primary source file warning.#1684: 285 conversion from pointer to same-sized integral type (potential portability problem) -- all due to offsetof() remark.#111: 121 statement is unreachable remark.#177: 1 func "marshal_write_mod" was declared but never referenced remark.#181: 9 arg is incompatible w/corresponding format string conversion remark.#279: 862 controlling expression is constant remark.#593: 17 variable set, but not used remark.#869: 1317 parameter not used remark.#981: 130 operands are evaluated in unspecified order remark.#1469: 10 "cc" clobber ignored (wtf? use of htons() causes this msg) remark.#1572: 111 floating-point equality/inequality comparisons are unreliable remark.#1599: 30 declaration hides parameter Note there are a lot of warning even when we mask off the higher bits (e.g., x = y & 0xff still generats a warning if x is a char). n _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
