Hi,
On a related note, regarding Opal, David and I decided that Opal should just
use Foundation directly (internally). The main reasons are:
- There is no way (with the public API of CoreFoundation) to create new
CoreFoundation types . The CG objects need to respond to -[retain] and
-[release], as well as CFRetain(), and the other CF functions available for all
CF types, so they really have to be instances of NSObject subclasses.
- We need constant Obj-C/CF strings - it sounds like it is best to just use
@"...".
Initially I was interested in making Opal independent of Foundation, and able
to work with Apple's CF or CFLite, but now I think it's not worth the effort.
