Visual Studio 2005?

[michalq]

Is the current version of Intel Fortran for Windows compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Standard Edition).

No, it is not. Support for VS2005 will be in a new version to be released in the next few months.

Just to be sure: I understand that IVF9.0 does not integrate IDE wise with VS2005. But iIt is possible to build a C/C++ based lib with VS2005 and link it into a IVF9.0 project or the other way around build an IVF9.0 lib and link into a VS2005 project. Or am I wrong?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

You can do this. You'll want to make sure that the VS2005 linker and C libraries are used. You can do the link in the VS2005 environment (adding the Intel Fortran library directories to thosed used by MSVC).

Does Intel have a target price for the new, VS 2005-integratedcompiler? I'm asking from a corporate budgeting perspective, so a ballpark figure would be fine. Current pricing is: Standard edition - $500; Professional edition - $1400. Will it be close to these figures in a similar pricing structure?

Thanks!

Ron

[Steven_L_Intel1]

We have no plans to change pricing at this time. Note that whenever you buy, you get a year of free updates and upgrades, and then it's $200/year (standard edition) after that.

Steve,

I just ordered an IVF Standard via a promotional program for CVF user.When Intel releases a new IVF (version 10?) within the next few months, I will be able to upgrade to the new IVF without additional charge. Am I correct?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

You get any new versions released in the next 12 months, yes.

Steve-

I have Visual Studio 2005 and Intel Fortran and C++ compilers. My needs are to have a development environment that will replace the current one I use, CVF. From what I read here it suggests waiting for something to happen. Suggestions?

You have the Intel compilers but not VS2002 or 2003? I'd think that applying for the beta would be worthwhile for you.

[hanson_biz]

I will apply for the beta if you indicate how, please. Reply off-line if you want.

Hi-

How does someone apply for the beta program? We were just recently forced to upgrade to Intel FTN due to the demise of MS/Digital/Compaq/HP FTN. Concurrently we are in the process of a massive upgrade from VS 6.0 to 2005. Mixing VS 2002/2003 is not an option.

While most of our work is with the command line interface to Intel FTN (our upgrade is essentially complete). We just recently found out we do have some projects that are using the integration. Product release is not schedule for any time soon but we would like to get our tooling finalized (at least plans). An integrated Intel FTN would help us BIG TIME!

The beta program is closed. The release will be in early May.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but...
Will the new version be fully integrated into VS 2005?
Will it require a purchase of standard or better edition of VS?
Does it compile to .NET, or native only?
Will the Linux counterpart have an IDE or continue to be command-line based?
How does it compare to alternatives? Have you done any comparisons?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Yes.
Yes (for full functionality).
Native only.
No IDE on Linux, though you're free to try Eclipse/Photran.
Alternatives to what?

Steve,
Will 9.1 integrate with VS 2005 on x64 boxes or only 32bit Windows?

[Nick2]

Say, G95. I'm working with a large code, and examining different compilers. My code works well with CVF 6.6, but it crashed both Salford and G95 compilers; G95 people issued a fix to the compiler based on my crash within a day. So how does the new Intel compiler compare to say G95 in being robust, detecting errors, detecting different-sized common blocks (CVF doesn't do that), etc?

[Nick2]

If I don't intend to purchase VB.NET2005 std will my copy of IVF behave similar to the express editions of visual studio 2005?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

9.1 will support VS 2005 integration on XP 64.

I haven't done my own comparison of Intel Fortran and g95. All I can go on is what people report in comp.lang.fortran and other places. Our compiler's strength is on run-time performance and code correctness.

If you don't install any of the prerequisite Microsoft development products on IA-32, you can't use the compiler at all. If you are on XP64, you can install the Microsoft Platform SDK and use the compiler from the command line.
