Before the list goes away, I'd like to add few points. I have one app depending on carbon. Carbon is dead for a long time but the framework is still present in all modern Mac OS versions. With the help of lsof cammand line utility I can see that iTunes is using Carbon framework. All apps made with Qt seem to depend on Carbon.framework. Yet, iTunes is a 64 bit application. It would be nice if someone knows how they managed to do that. Plugins? Dylibs depending on carbon?
And another thing. At some point 15 years ago I moved my carbon app to Windows by designing a Win32 layer that emulated certain parts of carbon and it enabled me to reuse my DITL resources to recreate all the dialogs and wondows on Windows. Now I'm almost sure I'll do it again with cocoa. It will probably take some time but it would let me to move that app not only to 64bit Mac but eventualy to iPad. Maybe there is someone with similar projects on this list? Anyone would like to collaborate on this? Any examples of modal loops? If I could see the code behind the WaitNextEvent in CoreFoundation or NSEvent it would help me properly handle modal loops I use with modal dialogs or longer processes like printing.
