Deprecated Cocoa (?) API on Mac OS X 10.5.6

SDL Development

Hi,

I get the following messages on Mac OS X 10.5.6 using SDL 1.2:

CPSGetCurrentProcess():
This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.
CPSSetForegroundOperationState():
This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.

There’s not much info like (an API reference) out there as these methods
seem to be part of the private Apple stuff:
http://lists.libsdl.org/htdig.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org/2006-August/057724.html

However, others pointed out that these messages might be accidental:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1638296&tstart=45

Do you guys know whether these methods really have been deprecated? If
so, shouldn’t they be removed/substituted in SDL in order ensure proper
functioning with upcoming OS X releases due this year…?

Thanks,
Oliver

They cannot be deprecated as they have never been documented.

It is possible to do what these functions achieve by using a
documented api, see this message [1].

Best,

Daniel

Thanks Daniel,

What’s planned for SDL? Shouldn’t the current implementation
(src/main/macosx/SDLMain.m) be changed accordingly?

Yes, it probably should. I’m a bit busy with SDL 1.3 at the moment,
but I’ll happily accept a patch…
