Is the earliest supported MS Visual Studio the 2013 version?

Thanks,

Visual Studio 2010.

Is there any plan to have Fortran support for ARM architecture as Intel C++ does?

Thank you.

No, and I don't see anything that says Intel C++ supports ARM. Where are
you seeing that? We do sell Android development products that also
include gcc for ARM targets.

True, but support of VS2010 is "deprecated", meaning that it will go
away in the next major version (a year from now or thereabouts).

I have seen this:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/intel-c-compiler-for-android-4-new-horizons-creating-apps-for-arm-and-intel-architecture

and this: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/creating-an-x86-and-arm-apk-using-the-intelr-compiler-and-gnu-gcc

I did not look in detail to see if Intel C++ really does it.

No research necessary, just wondering...

My IVF/VS install at work was broken by an MS Office upgrade, waiting
for a fix...I'm using GINO which is compatible with V11 and V12 (i.e.
3rd party compiled modules included)...how much newer IVF is 'likely' to
still be compatible with those V12 compiled GINO modules if I upgrade?

We try very hard to maintain upward compatibility of compiled objects
and modules. I don't think we have broken this in many years (and only
then because we had to due to bugs or inadequate module representation.)
Your GINO .mod files should be fine.

It doesn't - a clue is in your second link, "using the Intel compiler
and GNU gcc." What INDE provides is a uniform development environment
that uses the Intel C++ compiler for compiling for Android-IA and gcc
for compiling for Android-ARM, without source changes. The idea is that
using Intel tools for developing your Android application lets you
target both IA and ARM devices without additional effort. As there are a
growing number of IA-powered Android devices out there, app developers
should find this useful.

Intel isn't doing Fortran for Android at this time.
