New MacOS 64bit Cocoa bountie
« on: October 18, 2013, 05:50:02 pm »
I'm looking for co-workers for bringing the cocoa widgetset to a next level. Big task but has to be done. Carbon support will expire sooner or later on MacOS  :'(

To the best of my knowledge, it depends on the version of Mac OS X. For example, 10.6 has 32bit cocoa libraries.

Cocoa supports both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on all supported processor families (PPC, x86 and ARM).

It would be great, it the new cocoa widgetset would be flexible enough to also support CocoaTouch (for iOS) and GNUstep.

With the latest commits http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&root=lazarus&revision=42071 one is able to create 64bit cocoa apps (use trunc 1.3 version). It works quite ok for a simple TForm with TButton and TEdit But e.g. TLabel crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS in 64bit version (32bit works - see http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=25217). Also some strange  "__NSAutoreleaseNoPool() of NSCFNumber, NSCFString autorelease with no pool in place" console messages happens. I'm happy to share my simple test code.
