It works fine on GNUstep too, so I’ve pushed the change.

FWIW, that instancetype type appears to be a built‐in and we should
probably be doing some sort of check whether the compiler supports it
natively or not. I don’t know how to go about doing that.

This warning doesn’t make much sense to me. I’ve looked up the
documentation and the new method being used has allegedly been
available since macOS 10.5.

https://developer.apple.com/reference/appkit/nslayoutmanager/1403104-getglyphsinrange

I guess if it’s working we can just ignore it.

This is with an LLVM/GCC that came with MacOS 10.6:

i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 
5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

I've changed the source back to compile correctly (see patch).  It comes 
down to
removing the "instancetype" identifiers and reverting an 
NSWindowStyleMask to an
NSUInteger.

I also see this warning when compiling macfont.m:

macfont.m: In function ‘mac_font_shape_1’:
macfont.m:416: warning: ‘NSLayoutManager’ may not respond to 
‘-getGlyphsInRange:glyphs:properties:characterIndexes:bidiLevels:’
macfont.m:416: warning: (Messages without a matching method signature
macfont.m:416: warning: will be assumed to return ‘id’ and accept
macfont.m:416: warning: ‘...’ as arguments.)

(some new arguments were added in the recent changes).  But this doesn't 
seem to affect functionality so I've left that change as is.
