XSD generated code can be compiled with -AP if you add -Aa and use
STLPort for standard-conformant C++ standard library, as discussed
on this page:

http://wiki.codesynthesis.com/XSD/HP-UX_AP

Note that you only need to add -Aa while compiling the generated
code and code that uses it.

That's strange. We test and make sure each release works with aCC3.
Which version of XSD are you using? If it's other than 2.3.1 or 3.0.0,
can your upgrade to either one of these and see if it makes a difference.


> We absolutely do not want to use STLport product with "-Aa"

Unfortunately that's the only way to use XSD with aCC3 in "Classic
mode" (-AP). The problem with "Classic mode" is that the C++ Library
provided in this mode is nowhere close to the Standard C++, it has
different interfaces and is missing a lot of parts that XSD depends
on. That is why you need STLPort.

Also note that if you are using third-party libraries that were compiled
with -AP then all your code will have to be compiled with -AP.
