There are other solutions which perform better, and consume fewer system resources which are recommended. The Time Manager on Mac OS X does not have exactly the same behavior as it did on Mac OS 9 and earlier, especially in a multithreaded process. Instead of using the Time Manager functions, you should consider the following: 1. If you want a function to be called periodically from an application, then look at using a CFRunLoopTimer ( in CFRunLoop.h ). 2. In a Cocoa application, you can use the NSTimer object to get both absolute and interval-based periodic callbacks. 3. If you need something to happen periodically, and don't have a CFRunLoop in your application, you can create a thread which sleeps for whatever interval you want, then does something and sleeps again ( or exits, or whatever. ) Conceptually, this is all the current Time Manager does -- when you prime a task, a thread is created which sleeps on a semaphore for the amount of time remaining before the next earliest Time Manager task, then calls the tmTask function for that task and then calculates the time until the next task, ad nauseum. 4. If you just want to delay for some period of time, and don't have other threads or data which may require synchronization, you can call Delay(), sleep(), usleep(), or nanosleep(). 5. - ***************************************************************************} const { high bit of qType is set if task is active } kTMTaskActive = 1 shl 15; type TMTaskPtr = ^TMTask; TimerProcPtr = procedure( tmTaskPtr_: TMTaskPtr ); TimerUPP = TimerProcPtr; TMTask = record qLink: QElemPtr; qType: SInt16; tmAddr: TimerUPP; tmCount: SIGNEDLONG; tmWakeUp: SIGNEDLONG; tmReserved: SIGNEDLONG; end; { * InsTime() *** DEPRECATED *** * * Discussion: * Use InstallTimeTask() instead of this function. * * Availability: * Mac OS X: in version 10.0 and later in CoreServices.framework but deprecated in 10.4 * CarbonLib: in CarbonLib 1.0 and later * Non-Carbon CFM: in InterfaceLib 7.1 and later } procedure InsTime( tmTaskPtr: QElemPtr ); external name '_InsTime'; (* AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_0_AND_LATER_BUT_DEPRECATED_IN_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 *) { * InsXTime() *** DEPRECATED *** * * Discussion: * Use InstallXTimeTask() instead of this function. * * Availability: * Mac OS X: in version 10.0 and later in CoreServices.framework but deprecated in 10.4 * CarbonLib: in CarbonLib 1.0 and later * Non-Carbon CFM: in InterfaceLib 7.1 and later } procedure InsXTime( tmTaskPtr: QElemPtr ); external name '_InsXTime'; (* AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_0_AND_LATER_BUT_DEPRECATED_IN_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 *) { * PrimeTime() *** DEPRECATED *** * * Discussion: * Use PrimeTimeTask() instead of this function. * * Availability: * Mac OS X: in version 10.0 and later in CoreServices.framework but deprecated in 10.4 * CarbonLib: in CarbonLib 1.0 and later * Non-Carbon CFM: in InterfaceLib 7.1 and later } procedure PrimeTime( tmTaskPtr: QElemPtr; count: SIGNEDLONG ); external name '_PrimeTime'; (* AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_0_AND_LATER_BUT_DEPRECATED_IN_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 *) { * RmvTime() *** DEPRECATED *** * * Discussion: * Use RemoveTimeTask() instead of this function. * * Availability: * Mac OS X: in version 10.0 and later in CoreServices.framework but deprecated in 10.4 * CarbonLib: in CarbonLib 1.0 and later * Non-Carbon CFM: in InterfaceLib 7.1 and later } procedure RmvTime( tmTaskPtr: QElemPtr ); external name '_RmvTime'; (* AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_0_AND_LATER_BUT_DEPRECATED_IN_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 *) { * InstallTimeTask() *** DEPRECATED *** * * Summary: * Installs a task, taking advantage of the drift-free, * fixed-frequency timing services of the extended Time Manager. * * Discussion: * The InstallXTimeTask function adds the Time Manager task * structure specified by tmTaskPtr to the Time Manager queue.
