Building Foundation in Xcode

Development Core Libraries
1

I am very new to Xcode and tried building Foundation and running TestFoundation in Xcode 7.2.1, using the instructions given here.

In step 3, Foundation doesn't build because Xcode reports a compilation failure in NSObjCRuntime.swift (please refer to the attached snapshot):

Use of unresolved identifier '_typeByName'

I can see that this function is defined outside of the Foundation project, in the swift project (stdlib/public/core/Misc.swift). I think there are other functions defined in the stdlib and used in Foundation. I am not sure why this particular symbol causes a problem.

Could someone please tell me how the symbol could be imported so that Foundation could be compiled and linked?

Hello Pushkar,
One idea that comes to mind: are you launching Xcode 7.2 using a recent Swift toolchain? To do so, follow the instructions on this page: Swift.org - Download Swift
Specifically, you'll want to launch Xcode using the xcrun launch-with-toolchain command.
Forgive me if this isn't the problem--I'm not at a computer right now, but that error message vaguely reminds me of what happens when one tries to build Foundatoon with an older version of Swift.

Brian, Philippe - Thanks for your prompt responses!

You were right, I was using the 2016-02-08 toolchain. Using the latest (2016-03-01) solved the problem :)

Ok, I’m also encountering errors, but many more than Pushkar:
OS: OS X El Capitan
Xcode: Version 7.3 beta 5 (7D162j)
Toolchain: Xcode Swift DEVELOPMENT Snapshot 2016-03-01 (a)
And the errors I’m getting seem to come from a mismatch with the Standard Library:
Foundation/FoundationErrors.swift:10:48: Use of undeclared type ‘ErrorProtocol'
Foundation/NSString.swift:1220:55: Use of undeclared type ‘CVarArg’
Foundation/NSData.swift:18:38: Use of undeclared type ‘OptionSet’
Foundation/NSNotification.swift:95:11: Use of undeclared type ‘Sequence'
...
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

David,
The repository has been migrated to Swift 3. You'll need a Swift 3 .xctoolchain to build it. There isn't a snapshot available yet, but you can build your own using the script added to Swift in https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/1630\.
Even using the Swift 3 toolchain, I encountered build errors related to NSRunLoop. Applying [NSRunLoop] Use Swift 3 enum values on OS X/iOS by modocache · Pull Request #284 · apple/swift-corelibs-foundation · GitHub got everything working for me.

Brian,

I have also been having issues, so I tried your suggestions and I cannot
even get a toolchain built on the Swift master branch. I also tried
the swift-3-api-guidelines branch, assuming that is where the Swift 3 code
lives.

Anyway, I get the error:
Failing Tests (1):
    Swift :: Driver/filelists.swift

Does the build-toolchain script take certain parameters or have other
prerequisites?
Thanks for any help.

Taylor,
Funny you should mention that. The tests take a long time to run, and I don't really mind if a local toolchain I use has one or two failing tests. So I delete these two lines before building a toolchain: swift/build-presets.ini at a11e911f662c02c14e28286d76d154370ce5f5e1 · apple/swift · GitHub
That disables the tests. Your toolchain builds much faster, but beware: you may have a bug or two in there! ;)

One step closer :) I built a master version the toolchain, fixed most errors, but left with own a few:

Foundation/NSRunLoop.swift:14:43: error: type 'CFRunLoopActivity' has no member 'BeforeTimers'
    internal let kCFRunLoopBeforeTimers = CFRunLoopActivity.BeforeTimers.rawValue

Of course, this is happening because the new version of ClangImporter is now importing enum values with lowerCamelCase. It’s beforeTimers, not BeforeTimers. I can fix it, but was wondering if it was in need of fixing or if I had built the toolchain with the wrong branch of swift.

Hello Pushkar,

One idea that comes to mind: are you launching Xcode 7.2 using a recent Swift toolchain? To do so, follow the instructions on this page:Swift.org - Download Swift

Specifically, you'll want to launch Xcode using the xcrun launch-with-toolchain command.

Forgive me if this isn't the problem--I'm not at a computer right now, but that error message vaguely reminds me of what happens when one tries to build Foundatoon with an older version of Swift.

I am very new to Xcode and tried building Foundation and running TestFoundation in Xcode 7.2.1, using the instructions given here <https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Docs/GettingStarted.md&gt;\.

In step 3, Foundation doesn't build because Xcode reports a compilation failure in NSObjCRuntime.swift (please refer to the attached snapshot):
Use of unresolved identifier '_typeByName'

I can see that this function is defined outside of the Foundation project, in the swift project (stdlib/public/core/Misc.swift <https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/a44b09b6b6de50d54856499b156881f68e2eb34f/stdlib/public/core/Misc.swift&gt;\). I think there are other functions defined in the stdlib and used in Foundation. I am not sure why this particular symbol causes a problem.

Could someone please tell me how the symbol could be imported so that Foundation could be compiled and linked?

Hi David,

You need the latest Foundation from git, I think. Brian fixed that
compilation problem here:

It would be really nice if the snapshots at
https://swift.org/download/ could be refreshed!

Thanks,
Ian

One step closer :) I built a master version the toolchain, fixed most
errors, but left with own a few:

Foundation/NSRunLoop.swift:14:43: error: type 'CFRunLoopActivity' has no
member 'BeforeTimers'
    internal let kCFRunLoopBeforeTimers =
CFRunLoopActivity.BeforeTimers.rawValue

Of course, this is happening because the new version of ClangImporter is now
importing enum values with lowerCamelCase. It’s beforeTimers, not
BeforeTimers. I can fix it, but was wondering if it was in need of fixing or
if I had built the toolchain with the wrong branch of swift.

Taylor,

Funny you should mention that. The tests take a long time to run, and I
don't really mind if a local toolchain I use has one or two failing tests.
So I delete these two lines before building a toolchain:
https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/a11e911f662c02c14e28286d76d154370ce5f5e1/utils/build-presets.ini#L711-L712

That disables the tests. Your toolchain builds much faster, but beware: you
may have a bug or two in there! ;)

Brian,

I have also been having issues, so I tried your suggestions and I cannot
even get a toolchain built on the Swift master branch. I also tried the
swift-3-api-guidelines branch, assuming that is where the Swift 3 code
lives.

Anyway, I get the error:
Failing Tests (1):
    Swift :: Driver/filelists.swift

Does the build-toolchain script take certain parameters or have other
prerequisites?
Thanks for any help.

David,

The repository has been migrated to Swift 3. You'll need a Swift 3
.xctoolchain to build it. There isn't a snapshot available yet, but you can
build your own using the script added to Swift in
https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/1630\.

Even using the Swift 3 toolchain, I encountered build errors related to
NSRunLoop. Applying
[NSRunLoop] Use Swift 3 enum values on OS X/iOS by modocache · Pull Request #284 · apple/swift-corelibs-foundation · GitHub got everything
working for me.

Hope that helps!

You were right, I was using the 2016-02-08 toolchain. Using the latest (
2016-03-01) solved the problem :)

Hey Brian,

So I was able to get a toolchain for OSX and everything seemed to work.
But now I'm trying to test my changes on Linux and it seems my changes are
halting the tests when I run ninja test in the Foundation directory. I
began this discussion on a pull request
<Porting to Swift 3 by moiseev · Pull Request #281 · apple/swift-corelibs-foundation · GitHub;
because I thought this was purely related to the Swift 3 changes, but now
I'm not sure.

Anyway, I try to run the debug tests command that ninja test gives me, but
it says I don't have lldb. I thought I had everything necessary, but I'm
not sure how to get lldb or if it is even necessary. I will note that the
tests work on the master branch of Foundation so it does seem like my
problem, but I'm not sure why the issue is happening. Please view the pull
request I mentioned for a little more detail.

If this is more of a swift-dev issue, I can move the conversation there.

Thanks,
Taylor
