Summary0004001: vtk uses deprecated functions in its Carbon support, must remove
Descriptionvtk uses several deprecated APIs in vtkCarbonRenderWindow.cxx. They are:

NewRgn(), DiffRgn(), EqualRgn(), DisposeRgn()

This generates warnings on several build machines, such as:

http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Sites/atlantis.kitware/Darwin-i386-Xcode-Debug/20061030-0845-Experimental/BuildWarning.html [^]

But this issue is bigger than simple compiler warnings.

These functions are deprecated, which means that they will eventually be removed from the OS.

Because of my NDA with Apple I cannot really say more, except that I suggest vtk stop using any and all deprecated APIs. :)

And when targeting 10.4, Apple said you have to live with those warnings, and there is no way around it, as the Apple AGL api depends on QuickDraw, until 10.5.

10.5 provides a new aglSetHIViewRef() which would replace the dependency on QuickDraw.

Since vtk should support 10.4 for the foreseeable future, the code must be changed to use the new APIs conditionally, like so:

#if defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5) && MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5
  new APIs
#else
  old QD APIs
#endif

For the record, AGL is not available to 64 bit processes, see:

Clinton, can you review this partial patch?

That patch looks correct to me. Thanks. My main Mac is still on 10.4.
