OK,
I'm answering my own question. You just have to extern "C" the main
function call:
extern "C" pascal OSErr HelloWorld(BBXTCallbackBlock *callbacks,
WindowPtr w, long flags, AppleEvent* event, AppleEvent* reply)
{
...
}
That gets it to work.
So, now the follow up question: How the heck do you debug a plugin?
I'd love to run it in a debugger, but I don't really see how to do
that. printf/cout tracing doesn't seem possible as there's no
terminal.
While I'm very experienced with C/C++ programming in a variety of
situations (embedded and Linux are my primary fields), I'm fairly new
to the Mac API and BBEdit plugins specifically. All of this passing
around of opaque Handles and use of pascal-style strings has me fairly
confused. So, is there a concise tutorial of what a Handle is, how to
copy the data to/from standard C or C++ strings, what the best
practices in this are?
Thanks,
- Steve
