I have a few related projects. Carbonate (pronounced “Carbon 8”) is an implementation of a few Carbon-only routines in terms of classic routines and field accesses. One of the more complex ones so far is AEReplaceDescData(). I use it to keep Carbon applications building as non-Carbon. Another project, Advanced Mac Substitute, is a 68K emulator with some lowmem global support, and trap-level implementation of some classic Mac OS basics, including WaitNextEvent(), which reads events from a file descriptor (using a platform-inclusive protocol, not EventRecords). Advanced Mac Substitute https://www.v68k.org/ams/ Not sure if this helps you, but it should help demonstrate (along with others posting) that there’s interest in reimplementing relevant parts of the Carbon API.
