Hi All, I am planning to develop a file system using MacFuse and C++ with carbon. I thought if any one can share some information whether its better to develop the file system using C++ with carbon or Objective-C with cocoa. I personally prefer Objective-C with cocoa. I am trying to collect information to justify that developing fuse filesystem with Objective-C/Cocoa is a better solution than C++/Carbon.
Some of the points that I captured that are benefits of using Objective-C/Cocoa are:- 1. We get a good starting point to develop in the form of SpotlightFS sample application. 2. With cocoa its easier to implement certain things for example:- sending and receving notifications. In carbon I had to call CFNotificationCenterAddObserver followed by CFRunLoopRun() running in an infinite FOR loop. 3. Getting an custom volume icon for our Fuse filesystem is a complicated process as described in this post http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse-devel/browse_thread/thread/30bb9cc062258f03/141ec00daa9343aa And as I dig further into developing MacFuse filesystem using C++ i think its a hard time. Have any one else faced other challenging problems in MacFuse filesystem development using C++?
