Re: Carbon, Cocoa, and 64 bits - I'm confused

2. There's no formal definition of Carbon, so we have no idea which part will not go 64-bit (MacWindows.h, CarbonEvents.h, Menus.h, Pasteboard.h, Files.h, etc.)

Actually, people who have been reading these threads faithfully do have an idea. ;-)


Deric Horn clarified this and said that for the purposes of 64-bit support, "Carbon" referred to HIToolbox. So the Window Manager, HIView, and the Menu Manager are out, but Carbon Events, the File Manager and pretty much anything not related to the UI is in. Basically, anything a Cocoa application might use will get 64-bit support. Anything that's limited to Carbon applications won't. That's pretty much translates into the UI technologies.
