Exit

on Darwin, we can say:

import Foundation
exit(2)

I'm not totally sure how this works, since exit is provided by Darwin, not by Foundation. But somehow importing Foundation imports Darwin as well.

I think for source compatibility, we should support this, because people <swift2 - Swift 2.2 on Linux, "use of unresolved identifier 'exit'" - Stack Overflow; are asking <Seeking an "exit" equivalent in Swift - Stack Overflow; why it doesn't work out of the box.

I considered PRing an exit implementation in corelibs-foundation, but I think that might cause the opposite problem–introduce a conflict between Darwin/Glibc exit and Foundation "exit".

Can someone speak to how this is solved in Darwin Foundation and what we should do about it?

Hi Drew,

I assume this works on Linux if you import Glibc as well?

The reason is that Foundation on darwin re-exports modules below it (by the virtue of objective-c headers) and the linux version is not re-exporting Glibc.

Do we control this via the module map or some other mechanism?

I could see re-exporting Glibc on Linux as a reasonable solution for now.

It does, but on Darwin, importing Foundation alone is sufficient.

This seems like the best short-term solution to me.

It would be ideal (IMO) to define a common “POSIX” (or something like that) module which would have shared unix level interfaces that would portable to all platforms. Then corelibs-foundation could re-export THAT module, providing a common set of APIs on all platforms. A POSIX module would also eliminate the annoying import glibc/darwin #ifdef dance in many cases.

So we should be using `@exported import Glibc` on linux and `@exported import Darwin` on darwin then? Does this need to be for every import of Glibc? or just one somewhere in the swift files?

Yep.

Just do this in the same places it is happening for Darwin.

It isn’t ideal, since it is effectively a compiler-private implementation API. However, you have no other option (and are already doing it for Darwin) so I think it is the best path.
