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 ?

I am using boost 1.45.0. I have tried to use both 'gcc' as well as 'acc' compilers. In case of aCC ( version : A.06.26 ), I get errors in compilation of source code which uses boost. See below, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "/opt/boost/include/boost/interprocess/detail/move.hpp", line 90: error #2330-D: "boost::interprocess::file_lock::~file_lock()" (declared at line 75 of "/opt/boost/include/boost/interprocess/sync/file_lock.hpp") is inaccessible enum { value = sizeof(dispatch(trigger())) == sizeof(true_t) }; ^ detected during: instantiation of class "boost::interprocess::move_detail::is_convertible [with T=boost::interprocess::file_lock, U=boost::interprocess::rvboost::interprocess::file_lock &]" at line 174 instantiation of class "boost::interprocess::is_movable<T> [with T=boost::interprocess::file_lock]" at line 36 of "/opt/boost/include/boost/utility/enable_if.hpp" instantiation of class "boost::enable_if [with Cond=boost::interprocess::is_movable, T=boost::interprocess::rvboost::interprocess::file_lock &]" at line 69 of "/opt/boost/include/boost/interprocess/sync/file_lock.hpp " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up to boost 1.39 I had used gcc. I have not tested this with later version of boost or gcc.

Which version of aCC are you using ? It must be lower version as compared to A.06.26. I searched on web and found above errors are not generated by its predecessor versions.

As I have stated in my previous email, I have successfully used boost 1.45 on HP-UX.

Have you tried gcc or acc ? My problem is that lower versions of aCC are licensed ( I am currently using trial version of aCC ) and to use latest version too much boost code needs to be hacked ! It is not at all a good idea. And as i am using gcc, i found it too unusable as it is not stable enough to be used for a production level software. I have posted a related issue on below link, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7581171/problem-in-loading-of-shared-obje...

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) I agree that HP-UX is not good for development.

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

Thanks for above suggestions !
