Are you still using any Carbon APIs due to a lack of a Cocoa replacement?
-
@grynspan also just to double-check, you’re not referring to c APIs in general, just Carbon specifically, right?
Rob Rix
@rob_rix Yup. There are plenty of C APIs on OS X that aren't part of Carbon. I'm curious who is still using properly-Carbon APIs.

@grynspan Some resource manager and process manager stuff. Also file manager, but I think most or all of that could be migrated. - View other replies

@mjtsai You should be able to (and should!) move off the Process Manager and File Manager. There are Cocoa replacements for both. - View other replies

@grynspan I don't think there are Cocoa APIs for mounting or unmounting volumes. -
@mjtsai Disk Arbitration can be used for this stuff. DADiskMount() and DADiskUnmount(). -
@grynspan Yes, in theory those will work. Not a drop-in replacement because they're async. -
@mjtsai Which is good because they do heavy I/O, and should be asynchronous. :) - View other replies

@grynspan I actually had to stop calling FSUnmountVolume on 10.11 because it stopped working… -
@mjtsai Oh, that's unfortunate. Please file a radar. - View other replies

@grynspan The other obvious case is AppleScript… -
@mjtsai AppleScript is supported at the Cocoa level with NSAppleScript. -
@grynspan Can't send Apple events until 10.11. (I haven't yet checked whether that works for my purposes.) -

@grynspan@mjtsai Actually proposed it direct to Sal Soghoian: https://bitbucket.org/hhas/swiftae Will try Radar once head-desking stops. (cc@nebelch) -
