I'm porting some old code that uses 'c2pstrcpy', and XCode informs me that the function is deprecated. Apple's website confirms this, and states that I should use CopyCStringToPascal instead.

However, the new 10.4 universal headers indicate that CopyCStringToPascal is also deprecated, but I can't find a newer equivalent to convert it to. (It would be great if the compiler warning could tell me this.) Anybody know?


I think the theory there is that Pascal strings themselves are not encouraged any more.  You should switch from APIs that use Pascal strings to more modern APIs that are Unicode-friendly.

In that case, can you recommend an alternative to DebugStr (which is not marked as deprecated), which takes a Pascal string and outputs it to the console?

Thanks,
Ben
