This section describes a basic approach to porting applications from Microsoft Visual C++* for Windows* to the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

for Windows.

If you build your applications from the Windows command line, you can port applications from Microsoft Visual C++ to the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

by

modifying your makefile

to invoke the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

instead of Microsoft Visual C++.

The

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

integration with Microsoft Visual Studio provides a conversion path to the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

that allows you to build your Visual C++ projects with the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

. This version of the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

supports:

See the appropriate section in this documentation for details on using the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

with Microsoft Visual Studio.

The

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

also supports many of the same compiler options, macros, and environment variables you already use in your Microsoft work.

One challenge in porting applications from one compiler to another is making sure there is support for the compiler options you use to build your application. The

Compiler Options

reference lists compiler options that are supported by both the

Intel® oneAPI

DPC++/C++

Compiler

and Microsoft C++.
