Serious Issue with Project Preprocessor Build Setting, Xcode 7.3 and Swift.

We are experiencing an issue when compiling swift code under Xcode 7.3.

Preprocessor macros specified in the Xcode Project aren't imported into
swift. Ones manually declared in code are imported fine.

Specifying Xcode 7.3 to use the Xcode 7.2 toolchain (Swift 2.1 etc) has no
effect on this.

This is preventing us from using Xcode 7.3 and being able to test for 9.3.
Anybody else getting this issue?

The Swift and C family build settings in Xcode are distinct. Are you sure you set the -D flags in "Other Swift Flags" and not in the C build settings? Swift doesn't have preprocessor macros.

To follow on to what Joe said, can you provide more info about the exact problem. Is this a C preprocessor definition that you expect to be available in code imported by the Clang importer (i.e., bridging header files, etc.), or is a a macro you are expecting to use within Swift itself? And please let us know exactly which build setting you are referring to.

Thanks,

This is the "GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS" build setting. This previously
imported into swift. But in Xcode 7.3 it no longer does this.

If I write the Macros in the bridging header they are imported but I would
ideally like to keep them in a build setting.

This is the "GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS" build setting. This previously imported into swift. But in Xcode 7.3 it no longer does this.

Ok, and exactly how are you trying to use them? Via an if in C or via an if in Swift?

To hold keys and api endpoints.

In the past for Objective-C I would have used it like this:

request.api_endpoint = MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT

And then when Swift was released I was able to do it in Xcode 7.2:

request.api_endpoint = MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT

But when using Xocde 7.3 I get this:

request.api_endpoint = MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT //MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT not defined.

Explained in rest of the thread. It seems that in Xcode 7.2 if you
specified a C Macro in the build settings it was imported (i.e
API_VERSION=2). However in Xcode 7.3, only ones specified in code are
imported *not* ones specified in a build setting.

Swift has never supported referring directly to macros, it only supports "build configurations". I'm still not sure exactly what you have that could have worked previously.

Can you please attach a complete project showing something which worked in 7.2 and does not work now to the bug you filed?

I've just attached one now. The preprocessor macro is specified in the
build settings.

In Xcode 7.2 these were imported and worked like they did in C i.e
API_VERSION=2 would be imported as a constant named API_VERSION and would
be a 2

In Xcode 7.3 it broke.

Jordan, did something change here? Were we previously getting these via the Clang importer in a way we aren't anymore?

Ahh. Yes, we were. We would define the macro in Clang, then when we do a lookup we'd get it back out in Swift. I, um, wouldn't have considered that intentional, but clearly people are depending on it. Sorry, James!

Doug, we saw a similar issue with macros in bridging headers, right? Do you remember which that was? Do you have an opinion here?

The reason this wouldn't have been considered intentional is because it only works for targets with bridging headers. Frameworks? Nope. Pure Swift targets? Nope.

I'm not following the macro issue as closely as I maybe should, but in
my current ObjC apps I depend on GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS to
conditionally include sections of code (or not). (I don't however use it
to directly expand as a macro value.)

This is typically to accomodate differences between Mac App Store and
Developer ID builds, by defining these values in .xcconfig files.

Hopefully some mechanism like this will be available in Swift if ?

Yeah I noticed that it only works in Xcode 7.2 when you have a bridging
header and in Xcode 7.3 if it's explicitly declared in code and you have a
bridging header.

Is there a way we could bring this back for a Swift 2.2.1 ? It eased our
migration from Objective-C.

If the recommended path is to have swift constants and if statements, then
we could remove this again in Swift 3 since there are already a lot of
things breaking in that version I would expect something like this to
happen :)

I'm not sure what I would recommend; it depends what you're using this for. If it's C-style conditional compilation, Swift's own similar-but-more-limited if and -D flags are more powerful…but then you need to maintain two sets of flags. If it's constant integer values, typed constants (using 'static const' in C) are pretty much always better, even if you initialize them with a macro value. Constant strings don't really gain any benefit from 'static const' today, but it'll work.

The "2.2 is a minor update and shouldn't have changed behavior here" is a fair point.

Okay that helps, in my case the macros contain mostly strings. API Keys,
Endpoints and secrets. So something like this should work ?

static const kAPI_ENDPOINT = API_ENDPOINT

which will then be imported into Swift as:

let endpoint = kAPI_ENDPOINT

Jordan, did something change here? Were we previously getting these via
the Clang importer in a way we aren't anymore?

In Xcode 7.2 these were imported and worked like they did in C i.e
API_VERSION=2 would be imported as a constant named API_VERSION and would
be a 2

In Xcode 7.3 it broke.

To hold keys and api endpoints.

In the past for Objective-C I would have used it like this:

request.api_endpoint = MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT

And then when Swift was released I was able to do it in Xcode 7.2:

request.api_endpoint = MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT

But when using Xocde 7.3 I get this:

request.api_endpoint = MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT //MY_MACRO_ENDPOINT not defined.

Ok, and exactly how are you trying to use them? Via an if in C or via
an if in Swift?

If I write the Macros in the bridging header they are imported but I
would ideally like to keep them in a build setting.

To follow on to what Joe said, can you provide more info about the
exact problem. Is this a C preprocessor definition that you expect to be

And please let us know exactly which build setting you are referring to.

Yes, with a type. So either

static NSString * const kAPI_ENDPOINT = @ API_ENDPOINT;

or

static const char *kAPI_ENDPOINT = API_ENDPOINT;

Okay that helps, in my case the macros contain mostly strings. API Keys, Endpoints and secrets. So something like this should work ?

static const kAPI_ENDPOINT = API_ENDPOINT

which will then be imported into Swift as:

let endpoint = kAPI_ENDPOINT

I'm not sure what I would recommend; it depends what you're using this for. If it's C-style conditional compilation, Swift's own similar-but-more-limited if and -D flags are more powerful…but then you need to maintain two sets of flags. If it's constant integer values, typed constants (using 'static const' in C) are pretty much always better, even if you initialize them with a macro value. Constant strings don't really gain any benefit from 'static const' today, but it'll work.

The "2.2 is a minor update and shouldn't have changed behavior here" is a fair point.

Yeah I noticed that it only works in Xcode 7.2 when you have a bridging header and in Xcode 7.3 if it's explicitly declared in code and you have a bridging header.

Is there a way we could bring this back for a Swift 2.2.1 ? It eased our migration from Objective-C.

If the recommended path is to have swift constants and if statements, then we could remove this again in Swift 3 since there are already a lot of things breaking in that version I would expect something like this to happen :)

The reason this wouldn't have been considered intentional is because it only works for targets with bridging headers. Frameworks? Nope. Pure Swift targets? Nope.

Ahh. Yes, we were. We would define the macro in Clang, then when we do a lookup we'd get it back out in Swift. I, um, wouldn't have considered that intentional, but clearly people are depending on it. Sorry, James!

Doug, we saw a similar issue with macros in bridging headers, right? Do you remember which that was? Do you have an opinion here?
