Compile a C program using `icc`¶

icc is the Intel C compiler. This page describes how to compile C code using icc.

Procedure¶

For version of the Intel compiler to and including 2020, load an intel module with a version having two digits, from 15 to and including 20:

module load intel/20.4

C11 and C17 (bug fix) standards have support from intel/17+ (fully from 19).

Create and write a C source file called hello_world.c:

nano hello_world.c

In nano, write the C program as such:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf("hello, world\n");
}

After saving and closing nano, compile as such:

icc hello_world.c

Run the program:

./a.out

Output:

hello, world
