I do have a concern about this mechanism though. It looks to me like that
code creates a UPP by manually constructing machine language (as opposed to
a standardized API call blessed by Apple). Is that safe to do? That is,
can I depend on this mechanism working in current and future versions of OS
X?
Apple's official policy (as set by *way* upper management--please
don't shoot the messenger) is that developers should move away from
CFM and towards Mach-O, which obviates the need for a supported
version of NewRoutineDescriptor (which is basically what this code
does). Hence we have no plans to introduce such a call. Therefore,
if you continue to use CFM you must use ugly hacks like this. Sorry.
Having said that, I must admit that I do most of my X development in
Mach-O these days. CodeWarrior Mach-O rocks! Of course, that's not
much help if you want to continue to deploy on Mac OS 9 (unless you
go the packaged route, which is kinda klunky, especially for pre 9.0
users).
*sigh*
