I googled a bit today and found out that some people have tried this too. But they hadn't much success. Maybe the latest version of icc is more gcc compatible than older ones. In the gentoo forum you can find a discussion about that topic. MfG Michael Brian Budge wrote: I've thought of doing so

I've thought of doing something like that too... building the whole system using icc. Has anyone done this? I'd be slightly worried that some of the builds written in C++ wouldn't compile. Brian On Wed, 2 Jul 2003, Michael Gruetzner wrote: > That sounds ok to me. But how can I find out wha

That sounds ok to me. But how can I find out what ebuilds support icc. I'd like to try some others than povray. Maybe QT or KDE woul be good but I'm not sure if this will work - probably not :-( . Michael Brian Budge wrote: ICC can produce faster code, but it won't always... It tends to be abou

ICC can produce faster code, but it won't always... It tends to be about 5% faster on my own path tracer. One thing to note is that there are several compiler options for optimization. There are things like global interprocedural opts, even interfile opts, and you can also compile using stati

Interesting... what flags were you using for the two compilers? Which version of ICC where you using? I haven't noticed more than maybe a 10% difference, and I like the ability to use the more standards compliant gcc... On Wed, 2 Jul 2003, Harald Arnesen wrote: > Martin LORANG <[EMAIL PROTECT

ICC is generally pretty compatible with all the gcc compiled libraries. It also CAN be faster, but isn't really all that much faster than the newer versions of gcc. I prefer gcc because it is closer to conforming to the C++ standard... Brian On Wed, 25 Jun 2003, Zack Gilburd wrote: > On T
