<title>Compatibility Functions
<footnote>
<para>
This appendix is part of the formal Intrinsics Specification.
</para>
</footnote>
</title>
<para>
In prototype versions of the X Toolkit
each widget class
implemented an Xt&lt;<emphasis remap='I'>Widget</emphasis>&gt;Create (for example,
<function>XtLabelCreate</function>)
function, in which most of the code was identical from widget to widget.
In the Intrinsics, a single generic
<xref linkend='XtCreateWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
performs most of the common work and then calls the initialize procedure
implemented for the particular widget class.
</para>

<para>
Each Composite class also implemented the procedures
Xt&lt;<emphasis remap='I'>Widget</emphasis>&gt;Add and an Xt&lt;<emphasis remap='I'>Widget</emphasis>&gt;Delete (for example,
<function>XtButtonBoxAddButton</function>
and
<function>XtButtonBoxDeleteButton</function>).
In the Intrinsics, the Composite generic procedures
<xref linkend='XtManageChildren' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtUnmanageChildren' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
perform error checking and screening out of certain children.
Then they call the change_managed procedure
implemented for the widget's Composite class.
If the widget's parent has not yet been realized,
the call to the change_managed procedure is delayed until realization time.
</para>

<para>
Old-style calls can be implemented in the X Toolkit by defining
one-line procedures or macros that invoke a generic routine.  For example,
you could define the macro
<function>XtLabelCreate</function>
as:
</para>

<literallayout>
#define XtLabelCreate(name, parent, args, num_args) \
   ((LabelWidget) XtCreateWidget(name, labelWidgetClass, parent, args, num_args))
</literallayout>

<para>
Pop-up shells in some of the prototypes automatically performed an
<xref linkend='XtManageChild' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
on their child within their insert_child procedure.
Creators of pop-up children need to call
<xref linkend='XtManageChild' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
themselves.
</para>

<para>
<xref linkend='XtAppInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtVaAppInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
have been replaced by
<xref linkend='XtOpenApplication' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtVaOpenApplication' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
</para>

<para>
To initialize the Intrinsics internals, create an application context,
open and initialize a display, and create the initial application shell
instance, an application may use
<xref linkend='XtAppInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
or
<xref linkend='XtVaAppInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.

Most type converters just take the data described by the specified <emphasis remap='I'>from</emphasis>
argument and return data by writing into the specified <emphasis remap='I'>to</emphasis> argument.
A few need other information, which is available in the specified
argument list.
A type converter can invoke another type converter,

result to make maximum use of the type converter cache.

<xref linkend='XtDirectConvert' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
or
<xref linkend='XtCallConverter' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
The
<xref linkend='XtDirectConvert' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
function looks in the converter cache to see if this conversion procedure
has been called with the specified arguments.
If so, it returns a descriptor for information stored in the cache;
otherwise, it calls the converter and enters the result in the cache.
</para>

<para>
Before calling the specified converter,
<xref linkend='XtDirectConvert' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
sets the return value size to zero and the return value address to NULL.
To determine if the conversion was successful,
the client should check <emphasis remap='I'>to_return.addr</emphasis> for non-NULL.
The data returned by
<xref linkend='XtConvert' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
must be copied immediately by the caller,
