Thread Checker clarification

Does TC work with MS VC++ 8? The documentation implies that you have to have Intel C++.

Thanks

The product page says it does.

Compatibility

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
• Microsoft Visual C++* Compiler 2005, 2003, 2002 Editions or Visual C++ 6.0
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition C++ Compiler
• Intel VTune Performance Analyzer 8.0 or higher
• Intel Fortran and C++ Compilers
• Windows threads and POSIX* threads
• Intel Threading Building Blocks
• Support for OpenMP

I should have been more explicit; what prompted the query occurs further down on the product page whereit states

Required Software for OpenMP* Analysis or Source Instrumentation

• Intel C++ Compiler for Windows 8.1, Package ID: w_cc_pc_8.1.023 or higher
• Intel Fortran Compiler for Windows 8.1, Package ID: w_fc_pc_8.1.023 or higher

with no mention of VC++. Does this imply that openmp analysis and source instrumentation can't be done with VC++?

Thanks

Ah, I see. As far as I know, yes, if you want to use those features, you must use the Intel compilers which have the necessary instrumentation support. I am not very familiar with the Thread Checker product (I have used it a couple of times); if you need more clarification, please ask in the Threading forum.
