Hi folks,

I had some code that was crashing on PPC processors running system 8.0
or 8.1.  I tracked it down to my MoreFilesExtras call to XGetVInfo.  In
that routine it makes a call to CallPBXGetVolInfoSync.  In
MoreFilesExtras.c they do this:

---- cut here ----

/*
** CallPBXGetVolInfoSync is the glue code needed to make
PBXGetVolInfoSync
** File Manager requests from CFM-based programs. Apple added
PBXGetVolInfoSync
** to InterfaceLib in Mac OS 8.5, so if __MACOSEIGHTFIVEORLATER is
defined,
** CallPBXGetVolInfoSync is defined back to PBXGetVolInfoSync.
**
** Non-CFM 68K programs don't needs this glue (and won't get it) because
** they instead use the inline assembly glue found in the Files.h
interface
** file.
*/


#if TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON || !TARGET_RT_MAC_CFM

 // Carbon builds and 68K builds don't need this glue
 #define CallPBXGetVolInfoSync PBXGetVolInfoSync

#else // TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON || !TARGET_RT_MAC_CFM

----- cut here ----

Well PBXGetVolInfoSync crashes 8.0 or 8.1 PPC macs.  But
CallPBXGetVolInfoSync  is just being redefined as a call to that
function if you are not building for Carbon or not building a CFM app.
Furthermore, the comment makes reference to the macro
MACOSEIGHTFIVEORLATER, but that macro is not used in this code logic,
and I cannot find it anywhere in the MacOS Support folder tree.

Has anyone else run into this problem??? What did you do to fix it?

Thanks a bunch,
