libdispatch module on Linux

Daniel_Eggert · January 18, 2016, 4:31pm

I’ve create a system module for libdispatch, but when I import it, I don’t see anything guarded by __BLOCKS__.

Is there something I need to do when defining the system module to make that work?

Or something when I use it?

I noticed with importing CoreFoundation into swift-corelibs-foundation that we needed to pass -Xcc -fblocks to switfc to make it import a few things correctly on linux. I wonder if that is the same thing that is happening here too.

this is very likely as __BLOCKS__ is only defined when you pass -fblocks.

though, I’m told the blocks layout from swift and the one from libblocks-runtime-dev is not the same so it will likely crash (because dispatch as I said in another thread, uses that layout to get to the function pointer stored there). but worth trying.

I am not certain on `swift build` but for swift and swiftc it is `-Xcc -fblocks`.

My rule of thumb is that if any time there is something that does not meet initial expectations filing a bug is always appreciated (even if it is marked as a dup/not-to-be-fixed/etc)

How would I go about passing ‘-fblocks’ when building a module using ‘swift build’?

Since last week you can now: `swift build -Xcc -fblocks` and the build process will add those flags.

Should I file a bug to track this?

There’s already a few open tickets for this topic. We’re planning a more thorough solution, the above it to allow workarounds.

Daniel_Eggert · January 19, 2016, 7:34pm

Thanks.

I added a comment to [SR-397] Linux - module using <dispatch/dispatch.h> does not compile cleanly with "swift build" · Issue #5437 · apple/swift-package-manager · GitHub -- I think just having the _f variants working is totally fine. The block variants are nothing but a wrapper around them that can easily be re-created in Swift.

That approach would allow for a a different blocks ABI on Linux.
