title: Is the Intel C++ Compiler (19.0) now only using the Clang front-end (i.e. already abandoned EDG)?
body: <p>In 16.0, the Intel C++ Compiler provided two compilers (one based on EDG, another based on Clang).</p>
  
  <p>From the <a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-with-cpp-compiler-for-osx-parallel-studio-xe" rel="noreferrer">16.0 documentation</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Using the Command Line</strong></p>
    
    <p>To invoke the compiler from the command line, use a command similar to
    the following:</p>
    
    <ul>
    <li><p>For C source files: <code>icc my_source_file.c</code> or <code>icl my_source_file.c</code></p></li>
    <li><p>For C++ source files: <code>icpc my_source_file.cpp</code> or <code>icl++
    my_source_file.cpp</code></p></li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>Following successful compilation, the compiler creates an executable
    file in the current directory.</p>
    
    <p><code>icl/icl++</code> is a Clang-based front-end. You can use Clang options with this compiler. <code>icc/icpc</code> is an EDG-based front-end. You cannot use Clang options with <code>icc/icpc</code>. </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I'm not seeing a similar description now.</p>
