HP aC++/HP C A.06.25 Programmer's Guide

Compiling the code with HP aC++ generates an error like the following:
Error: File “nonConstRef.C”, Line 6
Type mismatch; cannot initialize a ‘int &’ with a ‘char’.
Try changing ‘int &’ to ‘const int &’.
To successfully compile with both compilers, make the following changes to the code:
void f() {
char c = 1;
const int & r = c;
}
Using operator new to Allocate Arrays
In HP C++, operator new is called to allocate memory for an array. In HP aC++,
operator new [] is called to allocate memory for an array.
Example:
The following code compiles without error on HP C++.
typedef char CHAR;
typedef unsigned int size_t;
typedef const CHAR *LPCSTR, *PCSTR;
typedef unsigned char BYTE;
void* operator new (size_t nSize, LPCSTR lpszFileName, int nLine);
static char THIS_FILE[] = “mw2.C”;
int main() {
BYTE *p;
p = new(THIS_FILE, 498) BYTE[50];
}
On HP aC++, the following error is generated:
Error: File “DDB4269.C”, Line 10
Expected 1 argument(s) for void *operator new [ ](unsigned int); had 3 instead.
Parentheses in Static Member Initialization List
In HP C++, redundant parentheses are allowed in a static member initialization list. In
HP aC++, redundant parentheses in a static member initialization list generate an error
and the program does not compile. You must remove the redundant parentheses to
compile the program with both compilers.
Example:
class A {
public:
int i;
static int (A::*p);
};
int (A::*(A::p)) = &(A::i);
Compiling this code HP aC++ generates the following error:
