11 Distributing Your C++ Products
Distribute your products in such a way that your customer does not need to use the HP
aC++ compiler or driver. That is, only distribute executables and shared libraries.
If you write code in HP aC++ and distribute any of the following C++ files to your
customers, read the following sections for recommendations and legal requirements.
• Shared libraries containing C++ code with the exception of the following libraries:
/usr/lib/hpux##/libCsup.so◦
◦ /usr/lib/hpux##/libstd.so (and libstd_v2.so)
◦ /usr/lib/hpux##/librwtool.so (and librwtool_v2.so)
◦ /usr/lib/hpux##/libstream.so
where ## is 32 or 64, which are provided as part of the HP-UX core system.
• Executable files produced by HP aC++ and applications that use shared libraries
provided with HP aC++.
• Object files produced by HP aC++.
• Archived libraries containing C++ code.
• Any combination of the above.
NOTE: If you choose to distribute archive libraries or object files, your customer must
have purchased HP aC++. Be sure your customer has read this distribution information.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
• “Applications that use HP aC++ Shared Libraries” (page 244)
