I'll second that, I wrote some to test file primitives. In case the
mac users are wondering I've been playing with long name support and
large files using the features of HFS+. However the GCC compiler
produces lousy code, it's 1/3 the performance of CodeWarrior code. So
I've been looking into using Apple's StdClib versus CW MSL to compile
a new carbon version.
The file primitive Sunits have made the ability to test and ensure it
all works for pre-carbon, carbon, and mach-o under OS 9, OS-x and
OS-X carbon and OS-9 carbon *MUCH* easier....
It also shows I need to migrate to CodeWarror 7, and still ensure it
all works under Apple's Project Builder. Why? well Apple's StdClib
has some bugs.
Of course to really bless a Project Builder version I really need
more Sunits to test ALL the external interface points to ensure they
work as expected. IE Math and the like.
