As a general statement, we support compilers that submit nightly to the ITK dashboard. Currently these include:

Fully Committed to Support

  • GCC 4.x
  • Visual Studio
    • 9 (Until 2018)

The following table illustrate the phase-out schedule of multiple compilers.

The stage "If community supported" means that ITK will only support that compiler if volunteers from the community commit to submitting Nightly Dashboard builds and to address/fix any problem that may arise in those platforms.
