Questions

[Quacker_B_]

I am a c++ developer writing an open source game and am interested in using your compiler. I would like to know if it is possible to use the SDL, SDL_Image and SDL_ttf libraries as i can't seem to find any builds for the intel compiler. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Quacker Blaster

The Intel compiler provides transparent compatibiliity with typical builds, e.g. gcc- and Visual Studio, so ideally an Intel-specific configuration of those open source libraries won't be required. As Sergey says, if you find a compiler problem please report it. You can read the latest compiler release notes for information about system requirements. Here's a link: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-c-composer-xe-2013-release-notes

Hi, as stated i'm posting the error the compiler is throwing at me. It seems to be related to the new C++11 standard which VS 2012 Update 2 doesn't support. However according to wikipedia:

Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 Update 6 and above (compiler 12.1) September 8, 2011 Intel Cilk Plus language extensions updated to support specification version 1.1 and available on Mac OS X in addition to Windows and Linux, Intel Threading Building Blocks updated to support version 4.0, Apple blocks supported on Mac OS X, improved C++11 support including support for Variadic templates, OpenMP 3.1 support.

Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 up to Update 5 (compiler 12.0) Nov 7, 2010 Intel Cilk Plus language extensions, Guided Auto-Parallelism, Improved C++11 support.^[8]

Intel C++ Compiler 11.0 November 2008 Initial C++11 support. VS2008 IDE integration on Windows. OpenMP 3.0. Source Checker for static memory/parallel diagnostics.

Yet the compiler still produces the following output:

>>1>..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Project\Source\CText.cpp(16): error : expected an expression >>1> m_TextColor = {255, 255, 255}; Please attach CText.cpp source file or a header file with declaration of m_TextColor variable ( or a class member ). The error: ...error : expected an expression... looks strange since a four/five-digit error number is Not shown.

>>class CText { >>protected: >>... >> SDL_Color m_TextColor; >>... A declaration for SDL_Color type is needed as well. Please attach a header file. Thanks.

Please attach CText.cpp source file or a header file with declaration of m_TextColor variable ( or a class member ). The error:

...error : expected an expression...

looks strange since a four/five-digit error number is Not shown.

Sure thing, I have attached the header and source code for the CText class. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
