All,

I think HP develops/maintain compilers but do not test them against boost. Compilation of code in many .hpp files in boost fails with aCC compiler's latest version i.e. aCC: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.26 [Apr 12 2011].

Anybody doing serious development on c++ on HP-UX would be left with only choice : gcc ( which is too not officially supported on HP-UX). So, I wonder if one can do some serious work on HP-UX involving boost libraries......

Can you be a bit more specific, about what boost libs you are using and what your compilation failures you are getting ? Up to boost 1.39 I had used gcc. I have not tested this with later version of boost or gcc. As I have stated in my previous email, I have successfully used boost 1.45 on HP-UX. The only problems I have faced is with utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp, where I had to hack some code out. Apart from that it was ok. ( You will have to live with the mega long compilation times however. My own opinion is that HP-UX is crap as a development environment, I develop on linux, and then port to HP-UX) Because of the large number of warning I suppress the following in my jamfile. # suppress - warning #2236-D: controlling expression is constant # warning #2461-D: initial value of reference to non-const must be an lvalue # warning #2191-D: type qualifier is meaningless on cast type # warning #2815-D: type qualifier on return type is meaningless # warning #4232-D: conversion from "boost::python::converter::rvalue_from_python_stage1_data *" to a more strictly aligned type "boost::python::converter::rvalue_from_python_storage *" may cause misaligned access # warning #4189-D: warning #4189-D: a non-POD class type used in offsetof macro BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(BOOST_PYTHON_OFFSETOF(rvalue_from_python_storage<T>,stage1) == 0); using acc : : : <compileflags>+W2236,2461,2191,2815,4232,4189 ; Hope that helps> Best regards, Ta, Avi
