The following applies to C++ for Microsoft Visual Studio* 2008.
The Intel® C++ Compiler integration with Microsoft Visual Studio* includes support for Property Pages to manage both Intel-specific and general compiler options.
To set compiler options in Visual Studio*:
- Right-click on a project or source file in the Solution Explorer view.
- Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
- On the Property Pages dialog, expand the C/C++ section to view the categories of compiler options.
- Select a category, then change the compiler options on the corresponding Property Page in the right-hand pane. If, for example, you want to specify a specific floating-point model, select the Code Generation category, then choose the desired model from the drop-down menu for Floating Point Model.
![]()
- Click OK to complete your selection.
The next time you build your project with the Intel® C++ Compiler, the option you selected will be used in the compilation.
Context-sensitive Help
The Intel® C++ Compiler integration with Visual Studio* includes context-sensitive help. In the example above, pressing the F1 key after selecting Floating Point Model will display the Intel help topic for the fp option.
For most compiler options represented on the Property Pages, F1 Help connects to the Intel® C++ Compiler documentation.
