We're going to need a buildbot using HP/UX, or this will keep regressing over and over again.

This is not correctly using include files. Definitions like this should not be in Platform.h.

What *should* go in Platform.h is a definition to let us use COMPILER() to identify the HP compiler.

The actual macro can either go in ListHashSet.h or a new header, but should not go in Platform.h.

Have you checked to see if you can leave typename out with the other compilers? Maybe this doesn't require a macro at all?

If it does require a macro, then I don't think WTF_TYPENAME is descriptive enough. It makes it sound like you have to use this everywhere, when really it's only for a few specific call sites. The name will probably need to mention HP specifically.

Fix for scoping with broken compilers

This workaround does not belong in Platform.h. That file only defines macros to identify the platform, not workarounds for bugs or anything like that. It should not be commandeered for this new purpose.

+#if (defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER-0 < 1300 && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)) || defined(__sgi) || (defined(__HP_aCC) && defined(__ia64))

This is not how we do things with the Platform.h file. You should be using the COMPILER() macros defined in there and adding new ones as needed.

This should go in a new header file. There may be some clever way of including it in all the projects, but adding it to Platform.h is not right.

Cleared review flag since this was landed so it doesn't show up in the uncommitted queue.
