Manager: Mixed Mode Manager


Mac OS X will not run 68K code. However, Carbon will support universal procedure pointers (UPPs) transparently, so you do not have to change them or remove them from your code. You may want to keep Mixed Mode Manager calls in your application to maintain compatibility with the current version of the Mac OS. Mixed Mode Manager calls from Carbon applications running on Mac OS 8 will function normally.

Supported  CallAsyncUniversalProc

Supported  CallOSTrapUniversalProc

Supported  CallUniversalProc

Unsupported  DisposeRoutineDescriptor

Use a specific UPP disposal routine; e.g., use Dispose ControlDefinitionProc instead of the more general function DisposeRoutineDescriptor.

Unsupported  DisposeRoutineDescriptorTrap

68K-specific. Does nothing in PowerPC-native code.

Unsupported  NewFatRoutineDescriptor

68K-specific. Does nothing in PowerPC-native code.

Unsupported  NewFatRoutineDescriptorTrap

68K-specific. Does nothing in PowerPC-native code.

Unsupported  NewRoutineDescriptor

Applications should use ProcPtrs for their own code and plug-ins, and use the system-supplied UPP creation functions (such as NewModalFilterProc) for Toolbox callback UPPs. You still need to dispose of those UPPs using DisposeRoutineDescriptor, so that any allocated memory can be cleaned up when your application is running on Mac OS 8.

Unsupported  NewRoutineDescriptorTrap

68K-specific. Does nothing in PowerPC-native code.

Unsupported  RestoreMixedModeState

Only useful for CFM-68K applications. Does nothing in PowerPC-native code.

Unsupported  SaveMixedModeState

Only useful for CFM-68K applications. Does nothing in PowerPC-native code.
