There is some work going on here at boost, and I hope others will answer you in more detail about that.

But there is one thing that you and other HP users need to do yourself, and that is to complain loud and clear to HP that their compiler needs to be fixed so that it will work with modern libraries like Boost. Be sure to specifically name Boost in your complaint.

HP is one of the few remaining compiler suppliers which seems to have major problems with the Boost libraries. Most of the others are tracking Boost carefully, and fixing compiler problems that surface as a result.

The compiler people don't necessarily care about Boost, but they do care about complaints from customers. So let them know that Boost is one of the ways you judge their performance.
