Re: g++ veresion 3.3.2 on HP-UX IA 11.23 sets STDC_EXT

[Ryan Hadley <rhadley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HP responded.  They say that a standard conforming C++ compiler should 
define __cplusplus greater than 199707L.  g++ defines it to 1.  Because 
of this, you have to add the flag -D_INCLUDE_LONGLONG.

It compiled just fine with -D_INCLUDE_LONGLONG, and that seems to me to 
be better than undefining __STDC_EXT__...  but I don't know much.
