03:29 🔗 dashcloud this is an amazing article on how deep compatibility runs on Mac: http://blog.steventroughtonsmith.com/post/109040361205/mpw-carbon-and-building-classic-mac-os-apps-in-os
03:30 🔗 pikhq I'm a bit upset that they finally did away with Classic.
03:30 🔗 pikhq But, haaah.
03:32 🔗 pikhq That's at least as impressive as Windows' API compat.
03:34 🔗 dashcloud it may actually be even more impressive- he was able to build an app from the same source file that can run on pretty much every Mac version ever
03:35 🔗 pikhq The same is true of Windows.
03:35 🔗 pikhq Assuming you're careful, Win16 and Win32 are nigh-identical API-wise assuming you don't use Win32-only APIs.
03:36 🔗 pikhq Not to mention that Windows 1.0 binaries still work on 32-bit Windows 8. :)
03:37 🔗 dashcloud I had no idea of that either
03:38 🔗 pikhq Though obviously it's not quite as good on Linux, source API compat is pretty decent all around there.
03:38 🔗 pikhq And if you just install the a.out libc, you can run binaries from '95. Like Netscape 1.
03:39 🔗 yipdw now I'm wondering if (a) there's a Debian package for that, (b) if installing it will trigger some crazyass dependency chain that will result in the eradication of all packages
03:40 🔗 pikhq There isn't really, but there's old RPMs you can certainly unpack and install manually.
03:40 🔗 pikhq Alas. The kernel's ABI compat is spectacular but the userspace's is practically nil.
03:41 🔗 pikhq The main weird thing is you're going to need to make sure your kernel has the a.out binfmt built for it.
03:41 🔗 pikhq (it's off by default but *most* distros have the module around)
03:43 🔗 pikhq Also, old X apps build just fine in general.
03:43 🔗 pikhq Always fun grabbing some of the really old IOCCC programs and watch 'em just work.
03:44 🔗 yipdw you do that while I futz with a three-month-old Rails app and wonder why the fuck it doesn't boot anymore
03:44 🔗 yipdw while crying
03:44 🔗 pikhq :)
03:44 🔗 pikhq Some days I feel smug for writing in C a lot.
03:45 🔗 pikhq ... and then I try and write something that works on Windows and Linux, and join you in crying.
03:48 🔗 yipdw pikhq: I have actually had pretty good luck with Windows cross-compilation using MXE
03:48 🔗 pikhq The problem is that you have to sacrifice one way or another to get it to work.
03:48 🔗 yipdw yeah I made several human sacrifices
03:48 🔗 yipdw but it works pretty well afterwards
03:49 🔗 pikhq Either you give up the sanity of the source code or using Unicode in Windows.
03:49 🔗 pikhq (... *ooor* you give up both, as is likely the case as well.)
03:49 🔗 Ctrl-S no library for that?
03:49 🔗 pikhq Windows doesn't do Unicode in char* strings.
03:50 🔗 pikhq Which means literally the only way to get Unicode out of it is to use Windows-specific API functions.
03:50 🔗 yipdw I let std::codecvt handle most of it
03:50 🔗 pikhq I mean, sure, there's numerous libraries of varying degrees of crap to do that for you, but this is what I mean when I say "give up the sanity of the source code". :)
03:50 🔗 yipdw but then again that's C++
03:51 🔗 Ctrl-S thank you for reminding me why i use higher level languages
03:51 🔗 yipdw that or use Qt and let it handle all the stuff that I don't want to bother with
03:51 🔗 yipdw :P
03:51 🔗 pikhq That also doesn't help you, because your basic common strings from, say, a dir listing via opendir, aren't in Unicode!
03:51 🔗 pikhq There's in a legacy charset.
03:52 🔗 pikhq Because Microsoft hates you and wishes to perpetuate the evils that is not-UTF-8.
03:52 🔗 achip has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
03:52 🔗 Ctrl-S encode strings in arrays of 16 bit objects?
03:52 🔗 yipdw I haven't had to deal with that particular problem directly just yet
03:52 🔗 achip has joined #archiveteam-bs
03:52 🔗 pikhq Yeah, but then you can't use the standard interfaces (reasonably).
03:53 🔗 yipdw the thing I'm cross-compiling uses physicsfs for file access, which expects UTF-8 everywhere
03:53 🔗 yipdw so it's not really been an issue
03:53 🔗 yipdw provided that the search paths are correctly normalized
03:53 🔗 pikhq Because on not-Windows, the interfaces for getting Unicode strings are the normal ones that uses char* strings.
03:53 🔗 pikhq And the UTF-16 interfaces mostly don't exist.
03:54 🔗 Ctrl-S can we just invade the MS campus and flay them until they fix it?
03:54 🔗 pikhq I've been proposing it.
03:54 🔗 pikhq Indeed I proposed just this a couple hours ago.
03:54 🔗 pikhq They at least finally caught up to implementing (portions of) C99.
03:56 🔗 pikhq But yeah... Microsoft's painful C environment makes writing C at least 10 times worse than it already is.
03:56 🔗 pikhq #ifdef _WIN32 #else #endif *sigh*
03:56 🔗 Ctrl-S what if we all just replace windows with a linux distro hacked to provide the MS apis?
03:58 🔗 pikhq libwine?
03:58 🔗 pikhq (yes, this is a thing. If you don't mind it looking not-native you can just build Windows apps for Linux by depending on libwine.)
03:59 🔗 Ctrl-S I still like the invasion plan
03:59 🔗 pikhq Oh, sure.
04:08 🔗 aaaaaaaaa better watch out. If they manage to win that battle, they'll torture you until you use the ribbon and metro interfaces everywhere.
