Well, if things were that simple, we would have used GCC 2.x/3.x on HP-UX as well.
Unfortunately, we have to link against 3rd party C++ libraries (Tuxedo (CORBA), actually) that have been compiled with aCC (*gasp* even with the old roguewave STL - they don't even have the std namespace).
This gets a little off-topic, but has anybody had any success linking together objects that have been compiled with g++ and aCC on HP-UX ?
HP appears to be unresponsive, I'm afraid. It has gotten to the point where it is costing them long-time customers, but aCC still can't compile modern C++ code very well. A shame.
The strange thing is that aCC isn't that bad for certain things.
It has interesting warnings and good hints in its error messages.
But then again, it's just some broken piece of crap when you use more advanced/modern C++ constructs, as in BOOST.
