   Does HP have any plans to produce their own C++ compiler in the
   near future?

We showed C++ at Uniforum.  A supported cfront (with *many* fixes),
and support in the debugger.  We have been using it internally for
real projects and it works just fine.

A pure compiler would be a much larger project.  Personally, I think
that debugger support is more important than the compiling tecnology.

As always, contact your local office for more info.
