Correct.  Probably the older version A.02.00.  "what /usr/bin/CC"

Due to a complaint from another customer (not sure if it was for emacs
or some other error message parsing program) we changed the error
message format for HP C++ in the newer 2.1 version so that it is easier
to find the error number and also easy to parse.  We now place the
error/warning number at the end of the line in parenthesis and leave the
line number as is.  See the following example message.  We plan to
maintain this format in the future (unless of course you have some other
very compelling reason for us to do otherwise).

CC: "errmsg.C", line 3: warning:  id not used (117)

If Emacs does not handle this either, it should not be too hard to
hack it to accept this new format (or the old format).  Emacs is
great that way, you can configure it to do just about anything.
Sorry, I do not use emacs in this way and do not have these hacks.

P.S. You might want to update to the latest HP C++ products.  2.1 translator
     has been shipping on S300/400 for 7.0 for several months.  2.1 native
     compiler will be shipping for S300/400 on 8.0 very soon.  S800 already
     has 2.1 native compiler for 7.0 and soon 8.0 and S700 8.05 compiler too.
