Tips for Use

Create a separate configuration for building with
Intel® oneAPI
DPC++/C++
Compiler
:
After you have created your project and specified it as an Intel project, create a new configuration (for example,
rel_intelc
based on
Release
configuration or
debug_intelc
based on
Debug
configuration).
Add any special optimization options offered by
Intel® oneAPI
DPC++/C++
Compiler
only to this new configuration (for example,
rel_intelc
or
debug_intelc
) through the project property page.
