This is because this configuration bug does not affect boost test
results -- check out HP-UX_pa_risc_gcc and HP-UX_ia64_gcc at
<http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html> --
and nobody complained. Quite a few people use gcc on HP-UX, but,
apparently, they do not use wregex.

Thanks for tha patch. Is it documented somewhere that wide character
support in gcc is available starting with version 3? Just want to be
sure. I did some google'ing and could not find definitive answer.

Thanks again,

  Subject: [Boost-users] Boost, HP-UX and gcc

  Hello,

   

  I am trying to use use Boost::Regex on HP 11i with gcc 4.2.2 and I notice that in config/platform/hpux.hpp there is a define to turn off wide-char support unless using aCC and have a1 source eg:

  #if !(defined(__HP_aCC) || !defined(_INCLUDE__STDC_A1_SOURCE))

  #  define BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF

  #  define BOOST_NO_CWCTYPE

  #endif

   

  This will never allow gcc to use wregex even if wchar support is available. Is this because there are so few people using Zgcc oin HP-ux or am I missing something?  On the assumption that it is related to usage, I have added the following to allow gcc 4 to use wregex:

   

  #if defined(__GNUC__)

  #  if (__GNUC__ >3)

  #  undef BOOST_NO_CWCTYPE

  #   endif

  #endif

   

  Is there anything obviously wrong with this?

   

  Thanks // Martin
