Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / February 2004

I am going to port an existing cfm project to mach-o
using CW 9.1.
Have a look at this line of code:
bool v = (::strcmp(s, "1") == 0) || (::strcmp(s, "true") == 0);

I want to build a Power Plant app to run on a pre-Carbon system, maybe
even as old as 7.5 (don't ask why). Can I do this without reloading a
heritage version of CW?  I'm running CW 8.3 under 10.3.2.

Hi...
I'm writing a little mini-app in straight C with CW8 in OSX...with just
a command line type of interface (a Std C Console app.) I display a few
lines, and then wait for input with a "gets()". I note when I use OSX's

Is there a way of launching classic mode from an OSX application?
I need to this because, I'm using FindFolder with kClassicDomain to
find the preferences folder on an OS 9 partition. Apparently, if you
upgrade to OSX and you have never run classic mode yet, FindFolder

Folks, Greetings!
I was asked this question & didn't have a ready answer:

I have a problem with the CodeWarrior 9.1 Debugger on Mac OS X 10.3.2. The
following code describe my problem. When I debug this code I can't look into
the variable 'str' in function foo(..).
Why - I can't understand that?

   I have had to update my CodeWarrior to version 9.1 (due to a requirement
by PACE, our copy-protection people).  Now I'm having a problem with our
bundle-based Mach-O audio plug-ins.  When closing the host application or
otherwise removing/deleting the plug-in, the host ...

Good day all.
Whenever CodeWarrior starts up, it automatically loads the project
that it thinks I want to work on. As my projects are quite large, it
is quite aggravating when it is (often) wrong as it has load a ton of

My binary is 16.3 MB and I wanted to make sure I don't start getting
weird behavior due to the 16MB limit for Mach-O binaries.  So, I went
and checked the "Split Segments (> 16Meg Output)" checkbox in the
linker settings.  Now my app crashes on launch.  Any idea why this

I have found that the 9.0 debugger seems to have problems with variables
stored in the registers.  A unsigned char * stored in r30 displays an
incorrect value when the deference arrow is clicked.  Copy the pointer to a
unsigned char *tmp on the stack and clicked the deference arrow ...

The problem I'm working on is that I need to be able to use BSD system
calls that require a UTF-8 path.  So what I've done is use
CFURLGetFileSystemRepresentation() to the get correct name.  I then
need to be able to convert this UTF-8 string to a wchar_t.

   Another question from me, yup, in desperation. May i know how to invoke
a shell terminal service in Mac X?
   I would like to edit the crontab but gotta do it programmatically. So
can somebody help?

I am interested in getting a Parser Generator written in Java,
to work on an old MacOS 9 computer. Since it is a Java command line tool,
I've written a small Graphical Shell in Java, that set up Commandline
Parameters for the Main Class in the tool.

I'm trying to use Shark with my app, but Shark only shows me the
headers of my source code, so I can not see the source along the
information provided by Shark.
I've tried every STABS Debug Info setting, but I don't get Shark to

I use Codewarrior on Mac OS9 to program shared libraries for use with
LabVIEW application.
Can i increase the Stack size on the shared libs?
I can not seem to find out this..
