Notes about using Core Animation for Macos applications.

Introducing Core Animation

For graphics, Apple describes Core Animation as the level just below AppKit. Therefore anything we would like to achieve with AppKit has to be provided via Core Animation already.

Core Animation's main purpose is to composite layers of bitmap content onto the display. Layers are arranged in trees and their properties are animated by Core Animation.

new functionality gets harder to add as a system gets more functional.

Diminishing returns from technological advantages

advocates for these new technologies tended to confuse the productivity

/* 
   Encountered while building with FASTbuild cache on a library using boost::icl

   See element_iterator.hpp and ICL_INTERVAL_TYPE.

   FASTbuild uses cl.exe -P to produce a pre-processed file. That file gets a const stitched onto it.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1- compile with cl.exe clmacro.cpp
   2- compile with cl.exe -P -Ficlmacro.i.cpp clmacro.cpp && cl.exe clmacro.i.cpp
