Intel C ++ Compiler v13.0 It is the optimized compiler that the Pentium company has launched to run on the Android platform natively. Intel It aims to fill this gap that will allow programmers who want to write apps in the C ++ language for the Google platform and to work with ARM architectures, since the Intel compiler currently only worked on the x86 and x86-64 family.
All the applications for Android they are currently written mostly using programming languages such as Java and HTML5. Now developers will be able to count on another development tool apart from those already known as the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) provided by Oracle. Now with Intel C ++ Compiler you can take advantage of Andorid's native NDK kit that GCC now uses.
Intel, for its part, wants to catch a slice and boost its compiler, which, as everyone knows, uses resources that improve the optimization of compiled software for its own chips (that is, mobile devices that integrate Intel Atom-type microprocessors, and the rest of the chips…? ). And as information for developers, say that this version of the Intel compiler cannot be used to create software for Windows, Mac OS X or Linux desktop platforms, only exclusively for Android. Likewise, the development team cannot be used on any operating system, only in Ubuntu Linux from version 10. For now you can download the compiler for free on a limited basis, and then it will cost € 450.
