Same build number for IVF and IVC compilers?

[rase]

I use mainly IVF, but only occasionally IVC. Is it mandatory to install both compilers with the same build number to be used in one solution (e. g. due to common libraries)?

It's helpful to have the same release of ifort and ICL. When sharing libraries between different versions, it should work (within reasonable limits) if the newer of identically named libraries in the 2 installations is used.

Thanks for your cautious reply: To avoid problems, it's better to have the same release.

In particular, if you use the /Qipo option, you must use the same numbered release of Intel Fortran and Intel C++.
