Default end of line on mac osX

Hi guys

I'm working on merging the changes 1298 about the guess of default end of line.
And I would like to know on mac os x (compared to Os9) what is the default
character of end of line. I thought it was CR

since the previous code was

((OSPlatform osVersion) beginsWith: 'darwin')
ifTrue: [^ self defaultToCR]
ifFalse: [^ self defaultToLF]]

but carlo wrote

Smalltalk isMacOS9 ifTrue: [^ self defaultToCR] ifFalse: [^ self defaultToLF]].

and I have some doubts because 'darwin' should be mac os x

Stef

Yes, OSX (darwin) is Unix, with a LF line ending.

Well actually
Smalltalk isMacOS9
can just answer false since a Pharo based image will never run on macintosh OS 9 (aka pre os-x)

However which system attribute are you using?
http://isqueak.org/getAttributeIntoLength
what you think might be safe might surprise/bite you....

thanks john.

> However which system attribute are you using?

Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1001
-> Mac OS

osVersion
"Return the version number string of the platform we're running on"
"OSPlatform osVersion"

^(Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1002) asString

:)

vmVersion
"Return the version number string of the Virtual machine built"
"OSPlatform vmVersion"

^Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1004

'Squeak3.8.1 of ''28 Aug 2006'' [latest update: #6747] Squeak VM 4.2.4b1'

You are still using a so old image to build the VMs?
