Hello,  
I have built Apple Swift 5 toolchain on PowerPC64LE. I also managed to run all the test suites in the toolchain.  
Now I am trying to build and run tests in Kitura for Swift.  
I tried the following steps mentioned at [GitHub - Kitura/Kitura: A Swift web framework and HTTP server.](https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura) :-

1. Clone this repository.  
$ git clone [GitHub - Kitura/Kitura: A Swift web framework and HTTP server.](https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura)

2. Build and run tests.  
$ swift test  
However I am seeing the below issues.

Can anyone explain what this piece of code is trying to do?

Also if the error looks familiar or am I missing anything here?

Hi Sarvesh.

It looks like the Swift compiler has crashed while compiling the BlueSignals dependency.

I would start by trying to produce a small standalone Swift testcase that shows the problem (not including Kitura etc.). Then you will need compiler debug skills to dig further.

As per [Compilation failure with Swift 5.1 · Issue #20 · Kitura/BlueSignals · GitHub](https://github.com/IBM-Swift/BlueSignals/issues/20), this was fixed in [AST: Fix type reconstruction for @convention(c) function types [5.1] by slavapestov · Pull Request #25423 · apple/swift · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/25423) - this should now compile on the latest level.
