Integrating libSyntax into the compiler pipeline

Development Compiler

This is super-exciting! Two questions:

  1. Are there any plans to systematically test that the new parser/transformer doesn’t produce different ASTs from the old parser? For instance, I could imagine comparing the output of -dump-parse on some large corpus of Swift code to snapshots of the output before the refactoring.

  2. In our grand tradition of bikeshedding: The box labeled “Transformer” will actually be called “ASTGen”, right?
