CodeWarrior is fine if you can use the BSD libraries. (This is not the default, oddly.)
If you have to use MSL, then yes, the POSIX layer demonstrates many goofy and nonstandard behaviors. Tread lightly :)

Speaking from personal experience, using async IO is bad news. It works unless you have to be mixed in with CodeWarrior so beware.

I switched to mach messaging (MIG) to avoid my problems as I was developing a framework with GCC but the client was using CW 8.something. Even worse, they were using CFM as a rule but had some bits as mach with the crazy MSL versions of signalling, never mind the regular POSIX APIs.

I used SIGIO to implement an asynchronous SSDP listener with callback
notification, written in straight C.

Will I experience any problems using this bit of code in a Cocoa
application? In other words, will my use of SIGIO (and the associated
signal handler) clash with anything AppKit does?
