Manager: Mixed Mode Manager


Mac OS X will not run 68K code. However, Carbon supports 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 or 9 function normally.

Typically, applications should use ProcPtrs for their own code and plug-ins and use the new system-supplied UPP creation functions (such as NewModalFilterProc) for Toolbox callback UPPs. You still need to dispose of those UPPs (using the corresponding disposal function), so that any allocated memory can be cleaned up when your application is running on Mac OS 8 or 9.

Unsupported  CallAsyncUniversalProc

Unsupported  CallOSTrapUniversalProc

Not available in Carbon.

Unsupported  CallUniversalProc

Not available in Carbon.

Unsupported  DisposeRoutineDescriptor

Use a specific UPP disposal routine; e.g., use Dispose ControlDefinitionProc instead of the more general function DisposeRoutineDescriptor. Not available in Carbon.
