Carbon and Mac OS X
By adopting Carbon now, you'll be ready to deliver Mac OS X compatibility to your customers when the new operating system is released.
A Carbon application will gain these benefits when running under Mac OS X:
-
Greater stability -- Protected address spaces prevent errant applications from crashing the system or other applications.
-
Improved responsiveness -- Each application is guaranteed processing time through preemptive multitasking, resulting in a more responsive user experience.
-
Dynamic resource allocation -- More efficient use of system resources, including the elimination of fixed size heaps, means your application can allocate memory and other shared resources based on actual needs rather than predetermined values.
