My application is using SearchKit to build an index. Is this index
a Universal Binary in the sense that it can be read as is on a
different Mac architecture? For example, if I generate the index on
a G4 system (32-bits), will it be readable on the Intel Macs (both
32-and 64-bit) as it? Does this hold true for all files written by
Carbon and Cocoa APIs?
SearchKit indices are currently portable between architectures
(you can generate an index on a little-endian machine and it
will be useable on a big-endian machine).
However the file format has been broken at least once before
(indices created on 10.4 can't be read under 10.3), which isn't
ideal for projects where indices are part of the release (vs
just a local cache).
