At the risk of answering the wrong question, HP C is only a C compiler, it
will not handle C++.  The implication of this goes beyond the obvious.  It
means it is not suitable for porting many modern products including various
popular open source products.  There is an alternative C compiler, gcc, it
is free.  It was ported to the HP 3000 by Mark Klein. In my opinion is is a
better (more modern and full featured) compiler than ANSI C, although ANSI C
has one advantage that has to do with the use of PRAGMA Intrinsics.

Most, if not all Open Source products are ported using gcc.  Hewlett-Packard
uses it extensively.  Paid support is available through www.allegro.com.
