Setting Intel® Compiler Options within Visual Studio .NET*
This topic discusses setting Intel® C++ Compiler options within Microsoft*
Visual Studio .NET*.
In this example, you want to optimize gzip to run optimally on a Pentium®
4 processor, but to be backwards compatible with all IA-32 processors.
Set Options for a Project
1. |
Right-click on the gzip project name, then select Properties.
|
|
2. |
Be sure the correct configuration is selected (in
the red frame). |
|
4. |
Select Optimization under C/C++ in the left pane
(in the orange frame). |
5. |
In the right pane, select an optimization category (in
the blue frame).
In this case, you want to include Pentium 4 processor extensions,
but you want to be sure that your application will be backwards
compatible with all IA-32 processors, so you select the -QaxW
option.
Note: This and other compiler optimization options
are explained later in this tutorial, and in the Compiler Option
Quick Reference.

6. |
Click OK. |

Set Options for a Single File
In this example, you want to optimize a specific file to run optimally
on a Pentium® 4 processor, but to be backwards compatible with all
IA-32 processors.
1. |
Right-click on bits.c, then select Properties. |
|
2. |
Be sure the correct configuration is selected (in
the red frame). |
|
4. |
Select Optimization under C/C++ in the left pane
(in the orange frame). |
5. |
In the right pane, select an optimization category (in
the blue frame).
In this case, you want to include Pentium 4 processor extensions,
but you want to be sure that your application will be backwards
compatible with all IA-32 processors, so you select the -QaxW
option.
