I would recommend contacting the aCC support people. They are generally quite reasonable. In fact, the hp status tables (which appear a bit out of date) at http://www.boost.org/status/cs-hpux.html are run remotely on a box provided by HP for boost to use. At the point when this was set up, I was investigating whether we should use aCC or g++. I went through and developed a few simple test cases to demonstrate the bugs in a few of the tests. They accepted them, but gave no time line. I think development of aCC was initially really hurt when Daveed Vandevoorde went to EDG, and I'd guess all the linux/compaq hubbub probably hasn't helped to much. I think A.03.33 was released over a year ago.

Hello Guys!

I am now fighting with HP to recognize that their compiler is buggy. I am one of their customer and would like to get help with this fight.

I want to use the boost.org format and regex libraries on HP-UX 11.00 with aCC, and I got contacted the local HP office about that.

I told that I want to use modern libraries like the "boost.org" library. They answered that the HP aCC is the implementation of the ISO/IEC 14882 standard of the C++ language.

They provided two links about the compiler:

http://www.software.hp.com/DTDC_products_list.html (follow the aC++ link). http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/2213/libs.htm#slIntro (introductionary concepts).

Do you have any evidence that the HP implementation of C++ language breaks the standard and that's why the regex library and format library does not compile on those platform? (if you need sample error message, then I can send it to the list).

I am using stlport 4.5-119, aCC A.03.33.

Please Cc: the replies to my private email-address also.

Thanks for your help in advance,

dLux
