Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / July 2003

I just attempted to build Loki with CW 8.3 and found an interesting
compiler bug. The precompiler chokes (i.e. internal compiler error) when
default parameters are supplied to templates used as template parameters.
For example:

I have an application which I can compile and build for a Classic target,
but parts of which won't compile for a Carbon target.
The problem is that it uses low level SCSI library function calls like
SCSIGet, SCSISelect, SCSICmd, etc. and when trying to build, for the files

Is there a simple way to convert from plist to plc?
Thank you,

I have a problem that is causing me to tear my hair out... Please someone
help...
Whenever I try to debug CW is saying something like "loading symbols", and
then nothing happens... CW simply freezes...

I'm drawing some unicode text with ATSUDrawText into a GrafPort.
I'm trying to draw command-shift as they appear in a menu.  (Flower and
Up Arrow.)
I create the string with:

I'm using CW 8.3 with 68K compiler from 6.2 (or was 6.3 the latest 6.x
release?). The compiler info says:
v2.4.1 Build 0160
Apparently, a code as simple as:

I have the following problem when compiling  a PCC target on my PC using
CW8.3 when '32 bit TOC offsets is enabled:
Link Error: Invalid object code. 'HelloWorld.cp'
on a MacOS system I do not get this error.

I have a function which has one argument defined as
const unsigned char **
(a list of pointers to Pascal strings)
When I pass a pointer to a Str255 or even when I pass an actual unsigned

I am a PC Visual C++ Programer. I am familiar with C++ and MFC. Now,
my boss request me to start develop Mac OS X application after 2
months. I am a mac user but not a mac developer. I just brought a
codewarrier in last saturday. what kind of books are suitable for me ?

...a friend of mine has a bunch of C code which contains
this construction:
#include <stdio.h>
main()

I keep on getting errors on the following. I also seem to need regex.h
from the old CW6 thrill seekers file set.
typedef off_t regoff_t;
What include file has off_t?

The standard [section 21.3.6 of ISO/IEC 14882:1998] says this returns
a pointer to a zero-terminated array, but it does not in CodeWarrior
8.3 - for example this sample code
#include <iostream>

I'm on Mac OS 8.6, and I use  an old version of CW (10 gold) but I have
no means to get a newer one. I would like to develop in carbon with it.
I got the Carbon SDK, and I have a little problem : they say that in a
project, you may not link to non-carbon-compatible libraries. Where ...

I'm just starting to use CodeWarrior 8.3 on Mac OS X for Java
development. I'm very familliar with CodeWarrior with Java for having
used it for years on classic Mac OS.
Although I have the 1.4.1 VM installed, I want to run and debug one

 Is there any fix yet to the problem of CW 8.3 not displaying variables
when debugging?  Usually it is globals that do not show up, but also static
locals and even regular locals if they aren't used in the rest of the
function.
