Hi @student1,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.
Per my understanding, I would say yes you would be able to compile C++ code with DPC++ compiler, as it was build based on C++.
However for best performance on specific accelerators, there might be a specific tuning required in the code to allow that. (More details on the cross performance architecture can be found here)
Note: here are also some good references for the supported/required utilities for OneAPI.

Best Wishes
