icc cannot compile a simple test program with macos because of incorrect configuration

Question

I have a very simple test program which does not actually do anything:

#include <iostream>

int main() { }

Compiling this with the following command gives me a very long error message:

icpc test.cpp

In file included from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++/v1/algorithm(640),
                 from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++/v1/__string(57),

                 from main.cpp(1):

      __is_function(_Tp)
                        ^

It seems something is incorrectly configured, but I cannot figure out what it is.

Here is some version info:

Answer 1

Intel Classic compiler does MacOS* support for Mac* computers with Intel® Processors only. We can see that you are using the Unsupported version of the MACOS and Xcode versions. please check the system requirements of Intel Classic Compiler from the below link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/system-requirements/oneapi-c-compiler-system-requirements.html

Try with any one of the supported OS versions(macOS* 10.15, 11.0,11.2 Big Sur, 12.0 Monterey) and Xcode versions(Xcode* 11.x , Xcode* 12.1, Xcode* 13.1).
