I have "icc version 14.0.3 (gcc version 4.8.1 compatibility)" here and
intel compiles the gsl package ok without any compiler warnings.
A few linker warnings, but nothing that looks like a real problem.
In general, the Intel compiler doesn't generate many warnings, even with -Wall,
so I assume its primary purpose is code generation.
I have found gcc + cppcheck + clang a far more powerful combination for
finding compile time bugs. Valgrind for run time testing, obviously.
