Is there a way to mark a function in swift (on Linux) to use the same emission strategy as weak declarations in c?
I was to tinkering with some ideas on fixing some poor behavior in swift-corelibs-foundation and weak would potentially solve this specific case.
For reference this is the syntax I am interested in (since it is a bit obscure) Weak symbol - Wikipedia
Weak definitions are expensive. What are you trying to do?

I was trying to prototype some fixes for factory pattern initializers. The other strategy that I was considering was using hoisting of functions to init methods but that didn't seem to work with disparate types. This wasn't really intended to be a real solution but more so a proof of concept.

Could you be more specific about how you're trying to apply weak definitions to the problem?
