Endianness when running under Rosetta?

Hi all,
I have a Carbon application which is reading binary data from a file's resource and then has to work with that data. I know the endianness of the data on disk so I used to do a byte-swap when necessary (after using ReadPartialResource() to get the data into my variable).
I dutifully converted all those unconditional byte-swaps to CFSwapInt32BigToHost() in order to make sure that things work correctly when running on an Intel machine (since the application is not universal, the app is running under Rosetta on Intel machines).
Today I tested the application on an iMac Intel CoreDuo (in my local Apple Store) - things worked just fine. However, even the old version with unconditional byte-swapping works correctly...
Does this mean the "Host" on in Intel machine is still big endian? Anybody can corroborate this or point me to documentation of this behaviour?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
to support the other posters intention: I would not need an emulator, if any code could be run between to processor types. If I have an emulator, it has to give a complete emulation of one processor another. If VirtualPC would have used BigEndians, no wndows would have ever started on those. So the other way round I assume that Rosetta will think Big (in Endianess).

  • Global data getting reset when running under IIS?

    We have a scenario using IIS with an ASP.NET web service written in VB.NET. When a call to the web service is made, the web service calls a native dll (written in C, compiled using VS2010) using platform invoke, which in turn calls into our product API:
    VB.NET web service -> native library (p/invoke) -> native API ....
    Web service requests are successfully completed and the system runs without problem for hours. A trace of the native API shows it is being called by multiple processes and multiple threads within those processes.
    The main native API dll contains a static global variable used to detect whether it is the first time it has been called and run initialization logic if it is. This dll is itself linked to a second dll that contains a global variable used to detect if it is
    the first time it has been called.
    After some hours the trace shows that the native API is invoked by an existing process but that the initialization logic is being exercised again, even though the global variable was set to indicate not first time and is never reset.  One theory was that
    the first process has ended and a new process has started almost instantaneously using the same process ID. However this is not the case as existing thread IDs from the same process are seen to write to the trace again after the first time logic has executed
    for the second time, indicating the process has not restarted. The problem occurs regularly.
    It is as though the process's global data has been initialized again and malloc'ed memory freed while the processing is still running. Is there any way this is possible when running under IIS?
    There is an internal thread which waits on a blocking read of a named pipe (via ReadFile), and when the problem occurs, the ReadFile call ends with ERROR_NO_ACCESS, which appears to indicate the malloc'ed buffer is no longer valid, again implying something
    has happened to the memory allocated to the process.

  • [Intel] Any list of Universal Binaries and apps running under Rosetta?

    Hi!
    Sorry, I'm not sure about posting into the right group, but found no other place with similar threads...
    I just try to figure out if all my apps will run under Rosetta or are available as Universal Binaries (and how much will the vendors charge for them). It's really a pain...
    Do you folks know any web site or forum with a "Rosetta compatibility list" and an overview about available Universal Binaries?
    I will not consider a change without e. g. a working backup solution (Retrospect), AppleWorks, EyeTV and a few other apps...

    Mike,
    AppleWorks seems to work unter Rosetta (referring to

    My greatest concern is Dantz' Retrospect and I haven't found a testing or even an information a Dantz' web site, yet.

  • Safari issues "fixed" running under Rosetta

    I have found that unless you run Safari under Rosetta there are compatability problems with some sites. In particular, I was unable to load images of my old computer to that auction site when running native but it works fine if I run Safari under Rosetta. I read elsewhere in this forum that there are Flash issues as well.
    I have reported this to Apple so let's hope we get a new version or an OS update soon!

    viking79,
    Choose Get Info for the Safari app. Click the
    checkbox "Open using Rosetta."
    Jim R.
    Is there a way I can make a shortcut for each method of opening Safari? So I could click one icon to launch it in Rosetta, and another to launch it native? Or it would be nice if I could just right click on the icon in the Dock and select Rosetta or native.
    Thanks

  • API calls delayed when run under certain AD accounts

    We are having an interesting issue with an API integration into our TFS 2013.3 system.
    We have an internal custom web service that calls into the TFS API. When running the custom service under an AD account created specifically for this purpose (uses pass through auth when talking to the TFS API using DefaultNetworkCredentials in the code)
    all calls take their time to execute + 30 seconds. When I switched the app pool account for the service to use my own personal AD account that 30 second delay disappears. Inside TFS the accounts have almost identical privileges and assignments and the
    calls with the delay still succeed with no obvious event log entries pointing to any issues. The only obvious difference is that my account is a local admin on the server while the intended service account is not.
    Currently this issue is blocking us from performing out production TFS installation and this is for a national bank so getting our account security correct and clean is highly critical.

    Here is one of the calls code.
    All connections are initiated using the same connection code.
    We are not allowed debug access on the effected systems.
    Uri teamFoundationURI =newUri(ConfigAccessBase.GetConfig("TeamFoundationBaseServiceURI"));
    ///uses CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentialsTfsConfigurationServer server =newTfsConfigurationServer(teamFoundationURI, ConfigAccessBase.TeamFoundationCredentials);
    server.Authenticate(); CatalogNode configServerNode = server.CatalogNode;

  • [Solved]Remove button icons in KDE applications when running under dwm

    I run dwm but also use KDE applications.
    KDE applications do show icons on dialog buttons:
    I gather that these buttons can be disabled in the system settings dialog when running a full KDE desktop. My question is: How do I achieve this - remove the icons on buttons - while not running a full KDE session?
    kcmshell4 doesn't seem to expose an option to do so in any available module, including 'kcmshell4 icons'.
    The systemsettings5 option repertoire is incomplete and only has the modules "Workspace>Desktop behaviour", "Workspace>Shortcuts", "Network>Settings" and "Network>Connectivity".
    In my .xsession, I am currently exporting
    export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk # Make Qt5 use the GTK+ theme
    export DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome # For something I can't quite remember
    I've also seen XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome vs XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde floating around, but neither achieves anything in this regard.
    Does anybody know which setting in which config file I could set to emulate what the KDE configuration GUI does in a KDE session, or what KDE packages I would have to install in order to add the correct settings component to my KDE configuration utilities (KDE4 and/or Plasma 5), or what environment variable to set? A last resort would be installing a full KDE workspace or Plasma 5 and toggling the setting there, but I'd rather avoid doing that.

    Would running "kcmshell5 style", or "kcmshell4 style" be an option? Am not sure what you have installed, but under fine tuning tab there, there's exactly what you need.

    ShowIconsInMenuItems=true
    ShowIconsOnPushButtons=true
    ToolButtonStyle=TextBesideIcon

    Change to false and TextOnly, respectively
    Might have to look for another kdeglobals file for kde4 apps, which should be either in .kde4 or in home dir, since there's a bit of a mess currently during transition
    Please excuse my belated reply; thank you for the solution:
    The line
    ShowIconsOnPushButtons=false
    in kdeglobals removed the icons for KDE 4 applications. For some reason, applications using KDE Frameworks 5.x did never show the button icons to begin with.

  • Evolution Icons missing when run under kde

    Hello all:
    Can't really find a solution for this while searching so thought I would post.  When I start evolution under KDE, just about every icon(folders, symbols, etc) is replaced with a box with a red X in the middle.  Obviously, it cannot find the icons to use.  How can I fix this?
    Thanks,
    -FS

    When you run gnome-session as your desktop manager, it automatically loads the settings controller that handles icons and the like.  When you launch anything else (such as your kde or my fluxbox) you have to load that settings manager manually.
    Stick this in your .xinitrc just before you launch kde:
    gnome-settings-daemon &
    That should fix ya right up.

  • Graphics apps running under Rosetta

    I'm VERY unhappy with the speed of Rosetta. Graphic apps like PhotoShop 7 run at 30% that they do on my G4 iBook.
    I didn't buy a new Mac to run applications at one-third the speed.
    AND.... I notice that even with 1G of RAM, running just two or three applications (like Mail and Safari) takes up almost all the RAM. Same apps running on my iBook leave a LOT of RAM.
    Anyone else seeing terrible speed from the new iMac?
    17" iBook Duo Core   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I believe that it is on option when you order to get 1x1GB chip or 2x512MB chips. If you got it from a local Apple store, it will be 2x512MB.
    I re-read your post and didn't realize that you already had 1GB. I used Photoshop last night and think that I confused speed with GUI responsiveness. Doing processor intensive things like unsharpen mask did seem a bit slower, but not too bad.

    no crash ids since this is version 3.6, the only version that doesn't crash, and I have to use Firefox for work stuff.
    I have submitted over a hundred crash reports and included my email, but no one has ever contacted me with any help. This has been going on for weeks. I have been forced to use an outdated version of FF because no one has bother to get back to me. I would be happy to update to 14 and start the crash cycle again if someone wants to give me some suggestions I haven't tried already.
    BTW, no font conflicts or RAM problems, (someone else's issue)

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

  • FormAutomation AFORMAUTLib's AFormApp() Method throws COMException when running under an account wit

    Hi,
    I've a VB application that uses the AFORMAUTLib library to create buttons in a PDF document. To do that I can use the AFORMAUTLib's AFormApp method to create an object that allows me to add the button using the following code (for example):
    Line 1: formApp = New AFORMAUTLib.AFormApp()
    Line 2: acroForm = formApp.Fields
    Line 3: field = acroForm.Add("Simple Button", "button", 0, x1, y1, x2, y2)
    I've this written as a console application and when I run it (an account having administrator privilege) I have no problem and the button is added to the PDF document.
    The problem comes with I am trying to run it using a custom account (without admin privilege) and the system is throwing COMException and it fails exactly at Line 1. Having it to run without admin privilege is more like a technical rule that I need to follow.
    I've already granted all possible permissions for the custom account to launch/activate all Acrobat related DCOM objects (those I can tell: AcroDistX, AcroExch.AVDoc, AcroExch.PDBookmark). But I am still having COMException when I run the code using the custom account.
    Is there a DCOM object for the AFORMAUTLib or any DCOM object indirectly controls the access permission of the AFORMAUTLib library? I cannot find it so far.
    I've no problem opening the PDF document but it just fails on that line when I'm about to do some form operations.
    Any idea? Thanks in advance on any comment.

    > Also thanks for your input on the legal info, although that doesn't get me anywhere on solving my problem.
    You're welcome, always better to have the information than get sued.
    You never mentioned in your first post that it was running as a service. That's why this didn't come up until you were asked and responded that it was indeed a service. While a lot of people on here are smart, they're not mind readers - we didn't know it was running as a service, and that changes a lot of things.
    > "Please use LiveCycle instead. Don't bother with using FormAutomation in SDK, adobe prohits that kind of usage. Please also post questions in LiveCycle forum. Thank you."
    If you want to be snide about it, sure. The fact is there is no solution using the Acrobat SDK for your issue because it was not designed to be used in the manner - in fact, it was explicitly designed to NOT be used in this manner. While I can certainly understand that you're frustrated over putting in work on this project just to find out it won't work, had you done sufficient research before hand you wouldn't have had this problem. You can take it out on me all you want trying to make me look like I deliberately designed the SDK to prevent you specifically from doing your work but that simply isn't the case. It's not possible with the Acrobat SDK (and if you find a workaround, it's still illegal, so I won't be helping you break the law).
    This is a forum for Acrobat SDK development. I never said you couldn't post your LiveCycle question here, but as I said my knowledge of LiveCycle is limited - as it is with most people who frequent here - so you would have a BETTER chance asking in the LiveCycle forum (since that seems the logical place for people with LiveCycle knowledge to visit).
    You can be as mad as you want and scream about wanting an answer, but I think you'll find very few people here will be willing to help anybody (not just you specifically) violate the licensing agreement. If anybody wants to help you break the law, that's entirely up to them, but you're right - I'm personally not going to help you break the law.

  • How to force Pages 2.0.2 to run under Rosetta?

    I browsed Apple's Support site and found this document:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303120
    I can find the check box for Safari 2.0.4, but I don't have this box for my Pages 2.0.2.
    I have also confirmed with System Profiler that my Pages is an Univerisal Application, not a Power PC or Intel.
    Any suggestion?
    (I need it because my Fiery printer driver is not Universal Binary yet and I need to access some of the features).
    MacPro, iMac (intel), PowerBook G4, iBook G4, MacMini Core Solo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Joshua,
    Welcome to the forums!
    I've not yet made the move to intel, so I can't check this out on my Mac. But while you wait for a driver update, you might want to check out the Gutenprint printer drivers for Mac:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    They are free, cover a very large range of printers, and may be able to run your Fiery (though it may not access all of its features).
    Hope this helps.

    without throwing an error, updates the time stamp on the databases, but does not do anything to them.  I created a log file with both the BIDS version & SQL agent version, and the logs look very similar, except that the BIDS one is about 3 times longer.
     The SQL agent one shows no obvious errors or issues.
    I do have the Access database engine installed on both the server where the SQL agent is running as well as my development environment.
    The job does have the 32 bit runtime option checked as well.
    The DBAs are working on the proxy & permissions, and I am wondering if they have missed something in that arena, or if there is something else I may have missed in settings on the package?
    We have been beating on this for days now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    Not sure what "but does not do anything to them" means, but I believe once you start running your job with a domain account based proxy it must work (JET uses Admin behind the scenes to actually manipulates on the db that needs to be impersonated).

  • Applications running under Managed Account not able to connect to servers

    My kids use a Managed Account on my MacBook (running Lion).  They have two games (Roblox and Minecraft) which can not connect to their particular game servers.  These games work fine when running under the Administrator account.  I believe that the ports that these games are trying to connect to may be blocked when running under a Managed Account.  The firewall is disabled.  Is there a way to open up specific network ports to programs running under Managed Accounts?

    Still don't have an anwer for you, but just a few thoughts... So it would seem that creating a Managed account automatically invokes some user account firewall settings, since the game works under your admin account. I was  able to access the System Prefs under a managed account to see about opening up the port in question, but if this is indeed the problem, the firewall isn't the GUI kind.
    It's possible that there would be a terminal command to do so, but I wouldn't have a clue about how to do that.

  • Thunderbird running under Win 8.1 with Defender does not download attachments and offline content.

    Thunderbird on Win 8.1 with Windows Defender is not downloading attachments from my roadrunner email account. It does so when running under Ubuntu 12.04 though. On Windows no attachments are shown. Also on Windows there is content that is not shown, I know so as there is an empty box. Then there is no option to download offline content. How may I use Thunderbird to read my email if it won't display properly? I trust the source of these emails as they are from the legal department of my former employer. I asking for the content to be resent does not work either. Please help me.
    Thank you;
