I sent attached mail a week ago to boost@lists.boost.org list. Did not get any response. Perhaps, I should've sent it to boost testing list and/or provide a patch. This is what I'm doing now hoping, that it will help to resolve the issue. I also CC typeof library author (I hope, I have his correct mail address). The issue is that, like other compilers, including such EDG-based compilers as como-4_3_3-vc7_1 and cxx on Tru64, the HP-UX aCC6 compiler does not support typeof keyword in default mode (both cxx and aCC6 support it in Gnu dialect mode). For toolsets using compilers that do not support typeof keyword, the "*_native" group of typeof library tests is marked expected failure (there are some 19 tests in this group). The patch below adds "acc" to the list of these toolsets. Please, apply it to CVS HEAD and the RC branch.

Like many other compilers, aCC6 on HP-UX does not support typeof extension (to be precise, it supports it in GNU C++ dialect compatibility mode -- -Ag++ -- but not in the default mode).
In explicit-failures-markup.xml, there is a group of toolsets making "*_native" typeof library tests expected failures, with the remark: "Native mode is not supported for this compiler.". Please, add "acc" toolset to this group, in both HEAD and the RC branch.
I don't think that a patch is needed for such a simple change, but if you need/want a patch, I can provide one.
Thanks, Boris
