Not available on Intel® 64 architecture targeting the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor x100 product family (formerly code name Knights Corner), on IA-32 architecture targeting Intel® Graphics Technology, or on Intel® 64 architecture targeting Intel® Graphics Technology

Syntax

Linux and OS X:

-use-intel-optimized-headers

Windows:

/Quse-intel-optimized-headers

Arguments

None

Default

-no-use-intel-optimized-headers or /Quse-intel-optimized-headers-

The performance headers directory is not added to the include path search list.

This option determines whether the performance headers directory is added to the include path search list.

The performance headers directory is added if you specify [Q]use-intel-optimized-headers. Appropriate libraries are also linked in, as needed, for proper functionality.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
