No. In general, two different C++ compilers are not binary-compatible.
There are many reasons for that: different class layout, different
virtual table structures, different mangling.

So if you have binary-only libraries compiled with aC++, you have to
ask the author to recompile with g++, or you have to use aC++
yourself.

For C code, things are better in general; I can't give a definite
answer for HP-UX, though.

Martin
