Intel® C++ Compiler 16.0 User and Reference Guide
The Intel® C++ Compiler includes a mathematical software library containing highly optimized and very accurate mathematical functions. These functions are commonly used in scientific or graphic applications, as well as other programs that rely heavily on floating-point computations. To include support for C99 _Complex data types, use the [Q]std=c99 compiler option.
Many routines in the Intel® Math Library are more highly optimized for Intel® microprocessors than for non-Intel microprocessors.
The mathimf.h header file includes prototypes for Intel® Math Library functions.
Intel's math.h header file is compatible with the gcc math library libm, but it does not cause the gcc* math library to be linked. The source can be built with either gcc, icc, or icl. When built with icc or icl, the Intel® Math Library libimf will be linked. The header file for the Intel® Math Library mathimf.h contains additional functions that are found only in the Intel® Math Library. The source can only be built using the Intel® C++ Compilers and libraries.
The math library linked to an application depends on the compilation or linkage options specified.
