I am trying to call a (any!) Carbon API call from assembler. Is this
possible? Do you know how to do it?
The assembler compiler does not recgnise .extern. Do you know how I
call an external function in assembler? Does Codewarrior do this

Try these:
// DOES NOT WORK
#define FOO
#pragma mark FOO BLAH BLAH

What does this mean?

I have several ICNS files that are checked into a Voodoo DB, and have used
the default setting of "Finder locked + CKID". These files, therefore, have
the "locked" attribute set most of the time. When I do a build, CW (I'm
using 8.3) copies these files into the "Resources" folder ...

I writing carbon/Mach-o code that needs to duplicate a file. The
duplicated file should be in the same folder as the old file.
My first approach was to use MoreFilesX's FSCopyFile. Alas FSCopyFile
uses PBHCopyFileSync which works only for mounted servers - my files

I'm stumped.
I'm an old hand at Mac development, but am new to the Carbon/Cocoa
arena.  That being said, I've sent several weeks on the research and
need some help.

I bought this software last year sometime when I was running Jaguar. It was
crashing then and it still crashes now with Panther.
It works fine when I compile and run my application (the default CW cocoa
app). but when I try to debug, it crashes as soon as it pops up the debug

I'm trying to track down a nasty little memory bug and I thought I'd
try to use the new Guard Malloc (libgmalloc) that is included with
Xcode 1.5.  Is there any way to use Guard Malloc with CodeWarrior's

I converted my CFM/PEF project target to Mach-O, mimicking the settings
in the CodeWarrior 9 PowerPlant stationery, and following the Release
Notes instructions.
Trouble is, the linker is reporting undefined references to things like

I am having a problem building a BSD command line utility.  I keep

In the manual of CodeWariior 8.3 I found the following:

Does it changed on CodeWarrior 9?

Hi Ron,
You have been kind enough to tell us that Metrowerks is still planning
to update the Mac compiler for CodeWarrior 10, which is great to hear.
The other Metrowerks compilers however have not been so stated.
