RE: [Boost-Users] HP, aCC and the standards

I would recommend contacting the aCC support people.  They are generally
quite reasonable.  In fact, the hp status tables (which appear a bit out of
date) at http://www.boost.org/status/cs-hpux.html are run remotely on a box
provided by HP for boost to use.  At the point when this was set up, I was
investigating whether we should use aCC or g++.  I went through and
developed a few simple test cases to demonstrate the bugs in a few of the
tests.  They accepted them, but gave no time line.

I think development of aCC was initially really hurt when Daveed Vandevoorde
went to EDG, and I'd guess all the linux/compaq hubbub probably hasn't
helped to much.  I think A.03.33 was released over a year ago.
