I use it daily through Visual Studio so can vouch that its true. ICL comes
with Visual Studio integration and the generated libs can be used as drop
in replacements for msvc ones (and vice-versa). ICL generated libs/programs
will debug fine with cdb and even generates .pdbs for "edit and continue"
debugging. And ICL uses pretty much all of the msvc libraries directly by
default.
True ICL does currently ship with gdb but that is used for debugging Intel
MIC processors (Xeon Phi).
