[cfe-dev] libc++ and the Intel compiler

[Guy Davidson]

I work on OSX and Windows platforms and must use the Intel compiler.  Assuming it's necessary for standard runtime library support, I would like to build libc++ on the OSX platform using the Intel compiler.  This seems non-trivial at first glance: changing $CXX to icc and running ./buildit yields a pile of errors in algorithm.cpp and compilation is aborted.

Has anyone tried this?  Is it a fool's errand or is it a worthwhile use of time expanding the range of compilers that can build libc++?  Is anyone already on it, and if so would you like some help?

Best,
Guy Davidson
