What are hmap files and how do they relate to the swift compilation
process? It seems that they are a clang thing, but I can't find any
documentation on them.
They are "header map" files and you are right they are very poorly documented.
Xcode uses them to provide the compiler with a mapping of textual include names to actual file paths.
What are you specifically looking into?

Well I'm wondering what to do with them since I am writing a program
that directly invokes the swift compiler code. Meaning, I create a
swift::Module*, call swift::parseIntoSourceFile,
swift::performTypeChecking, etc. So far it doesn't seem that I need to
pass along the hmap files to anything in the swift codebase, perhaps the
hmap files I see xcode adding to the swiftc lines so far are all
superfluous.

Yes, you should avoid passing header map files.
They should only be used when trying to integrate with existing Xcode projects, when invoking swiftc yourself you should use the simpler header search path options (-I, -F).

Thanks for posting this. I saw them in a React Native project in Derived Data and so mistakenly assumed they were RN related files.
RN does not stand for Richard Nixon.
