Also, Intel ICC is deprecated:

$ icc -v
icc: remark #10441: The Intel(R) C++ Compiler Classic (ICC) is 
deprecated and will be removed from product release in the second half 
of 2023. The Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (ICX) is the recommended 
compiler moving forward. Please transition to use this compiler. Use 
'-diag-disable=10441' to disable this message.
icc version 2021.7.0 (gcc version 12.1.0 compatibility)
