Re: HUnlock always after HLock?

But don't bother using HLock/HUnlock or HSetState on Mac OS X. (Unless you know that someone is going to explicitly look at those bits.) The handle will not move or be purged on OS X.

Is this a recent-ish (Panther) change? I had entered rdar://2852119 because some system-level function was locking a PaletteHandle out from underneath me, which caused subsequent resize attempts to fail. That bug was marked as fixed in Panther, but of course I didn't get any specifics about the nature of the change.

Is the locked state of a handle now *totally* ignored on Mac OS X, or were you only referring to the specific situation of disposing a locked handle?

thx!
