Default Libraries

The following libraries are supplied with the IntelĀ® C++ Compiler:

Library

Description

libguide.a
libguide.so

For OpenMP* implementation

libguide_stats.a
libguide_stats.so

OpenMP static library for the parallelizer tool with performance statistics and profile information

libompstub.a

Library that resolves references to OpenMP subroutines when OpenMP is not in use

libsvml.a
libsvml.so

Short vector math library

libirc.a
libirc_s.a
libintlc.so.5

Intel support library for PGO and CPU dispatch

libimf.a
libimf.so

Intel math library

libcxaguard.a
libcxaguard.so
libcxaguard.so.5

Used for interoperability support with the -cxxlib option.
See gcc Interoperability.

When you invoke the -cxxlib option, libcprts is replaced with libstdc++ from the gcc* distribution (3.2 or newer)

Caution iconCaution

The Linux* OS system libraries and the compiler libraries are not built with the -align option. Therefore, if you compile with the -align option and make a call to a compiler distributed or system library, and have long long, double, or long double types in your interface, you will get the wrong answer due to the difference in alignment. Any code built with -align cannot make calls to libraries that use these types in their interfaces unless they are built with -align (in which case they will not work without -align).

Math Libraries

The Intel math library, libimf.a, contains optimized versions of math functions found in the standard C run-time library. The functions in libimf.a are optimized for program execution speed on Intel processors. The Intel math library is linked by default.
