To get DOMMemTest working under HPUX, I had to modify the code as shown below:
Originally,
DOM_Element cloned = (DOM_Element &) root.cloneNode(true);
To get it past HPUX 11.0 aCC compiler,
DOM_Node abc = root.cloneNode(true);
DOM_Element cloned = (DOM_Element &) abc;
If I remember correctly, similar modifications were required for CC under HPUX.
