<arch> - ia32 or intel64

.. note:: Starting with oneTBB 2022.0, 32-bit binaries are supported only by the open-source version of the library.
<lib> - tbb, tbbmalloc, tbbmalloc_proxy or tbbbind
<vcversion>
- 14 - use for dynamic linkage with the CRT
- 14_uwp - use for Windows 10 Universal Windows applications
- 14_uwd - use for Universal Windows Drivers
- _mt - use for static linkage with the CRT
<variant> - _debug or empty
<version> - binary version

The last column shows, which environment variables are used by the Microsoft* Visual C++* or Intel® C++ Compiler Classic or Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, to find these subdirectories.

.. CAUTION:: Ensure that the relevant product directories are mentioned by the environment variables; otherwise the compiler might not find the required files.

.. note:: Microsoft* C/C++ run-time libraries come in static and dynamic forms. Either can be used with oneTBB. Linking to the oneTBB library is always dynamic.
