Carbon -> Cocoa
I am curious, are there other developers on this list working on conversions from C++ Carbon to Cocoa? If so, how is it going?

Re: Carbon -> Cocoa
We found it very difficult. This was for a large C++ Carbon application. We’re now rewriting in Swift + Cocoa, starting from scratch.

At my previous job, we started doing that soon after I started. This was an enormous app with, jeez, I forget, like 150 dialogs? There were 4 of us that could do Mac dev, plus still keep up with normal release cycles. 3 years later, all but 1 of those 4 were laid off because the new owner moved the company to Colorado to be with his other bought-up company. In those 3 years, we made a small dent in the Carbon->Cocoa, and that was only because 1 guy would work nights and weekends coming up with ways to automate parts of the process. We'd continually run into weird problems when trying to have Carbon and Cocoa windows up at the same time. But that was quite a few major OS versions ago. I'll just say it's not a fun process, especially when it's this many years after the "Carbon is dead" announcement. My choice would be to do it as a rewrite. -- Steve Mills Drummer, Mac geek ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

If you haven't switched to Cocoa after all these years, and if your app is large, I'd wait to see what happens with Marzipan.

The crucial difference is that Cocoa supports 64-bit applications, and Carbon doesn’t. > If you haven't switched to Cocoa after all these years, and if your app is > large, I'd wait to see what happens with Marzipan We don’t have time to wait for Marzipan - Apple are dropping support for 32-bit applications after Mojave.

(Sorry about the empty post; the list server eats my messages if I try to post in HTML.) I'm working on it. I have converted all windows and menus to Cocoa. What remains is converting to NSApplicationMain, getting rid of Carbon Events being sent to window event targets, and other miscellaneous things. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
