A little fun with the Intel C++ Compiler
Posted: 13 Apr 2011 14:40I've been more of an insomniac than usual lately, and out of boredom early this morning I attempted to compile the release version of Shareaza with Intel's latest compiler under VC10, and other than an absurd number of warnings it was a complete success. And I mean the entire solution. No code modifications or anything... Just told it to use Intel's compiler and it worked. Hello, private /QxSSSE3 build. 
Just to be clear I'm not a programmer or anything like that... This was simply something to keep my mind busy...
EDIT: There's some kinks... Like when I tried to tweak some of the advanced config stuff the values would reset to zero every time I tried to change them, but all I had to do to fix those values is swap in an official Shareaza.exe and reset them to default then switch my Shareaza.exe back in. Other than that, it does run as far as I can tell. And it feels slightly more, eh, snappy.
