<<It shows no support for c++11 atomics by HP aCC and IBM XLC++ (except of Linux). Is it a problem for us ?>> An interesting question, I do know of a few users who continue to use AIX and HPUX and who actively build on 2.5... Will we still have AIX and HPUX users by the time we release Firebird 4.0 - I don't know.
