I knew about converting UTCDateTime to CFAbsoluteTime; that was not
the problem, although I do appreciate the fact that you replied to
my question. What I asked was a way to get rid of UTCDateTime data
type completely by using a more modern API than FSGetCatalogInfo,
If there were it would be in Files.h. The fact that there is nothing
newer than FSGetCatalogInfo in Files.h and FSGetCatalogInfo isn't
deprecated pretty much answers your question.
but I guess the "deafening silence" concerning my question means
there is none at the moment. :) Therefore I was planning to use
the APIs that Larry suggested, although it's good to know that you
can do that manually if you wish. :) I could file a bug but I guess
Apple is perfectly aware of that problem when they declared
UTCDateTime deprecated in Tiger. The "deafening silence" is quite
understandable. :)
It's not unusual for Apple to deprecate stuff before they have a
complete set of replacements. When I see that something is
deprecated, I will try to replace it as time permits if replacements
are available or at least not write new code using the deprecated
stuff. But if they haven't even given us a replacement, I don't worry
about it.
