Hi, I recently downloaded boost libraries to use the smart_ptr libraries. It appears to be working. But several other libraries, as shown by the compiler report is not. I also noticed that last run date is 9 months ago. Is anybody working on getting boost to work on aCC? I would be very surprised if nobody has tried before since HP is a top-tier vendor, but I couldn't find any useful information from the archives. If not, I would like to take a stab at getting it to work. I have contact with HP aCC techs to fix problems if it is a compiler problem. I'm particularly interested in getting the libraries regex and spirit (for now, more later) to work. I did a search on the boost archive and the last reference to this subject was written back in August 14, 2003: [boost] Re: Release of 1.30.2 imminent by David Abrahams other posts by this author Aug 14 2003 2:47PM messages near this date

This is a compiler crash. aCC is definitely broken beyond repair. I'm not going ot worry about that
Thanks! -Jerry

I have tried, but not in the last 9 months. HP may be "top-tier" but if so their compilers have not proven to be of the same caliber as the rest of the company, at least when it comes to compiling Boost code. The number and severity of the compiler bugs, and the poor quality of the error messages, made the job infeasibly hard. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

I'd love to see regex working with aCC if it's humanly possible, if you want to mail me privately with any queries you may have that would be fine - especially if you have a working relationship with HP personnel - we've managed to persuade quite a few other vendors to work with us, and even to use Boost for their internal regression tests, HP is one of the notable exceptions so far :-| John.
