Action Items

Discussion

5.9.1 fixes backtrace.

  • @FranzBusch Docker file requires compiler flag for frame pointers. static linking requires extra executable. Should produce guide but where should this be.
    @tomerd Frame pointers will be fixed and this should be documented. Extra executable is a little harder to fix and won't get be fixed in 5.9.x timeframe.
    :a: @FranzBusch Write forum post for 5.9.1 backtrace issue and sit down with Tom to make sure it is correct before publishing

SQLite
There is a need for a non NIO version of SQLiteNIO.

  • @tomerd: possibly split into multiple libraries
  • @graskind: with no NIO it is just a wrapper for the C API
  • @tomerd There is some niceties like Logging
  • @tomerd this is for non-server situations where NIO integration isn't required
  • @0xTim Is this separate repos or separate targets
  • :a: @0xTim, @graskind, @tomerd Follow up on SQLite separately from SSWG meeting

NIO Async APIs released

  • @_spi has been removed from all NIO Async bridge code and it is available for use
  • Forum post here New SwiftNIO async APIs
  • Also conversion handlers for the new HTTP types are available. Old HTTP types are still needed as intermediaries.

Survey is now closed and results are available.

  • @ktoso What do we publish? Not the whole thing, maybe standout points, surprising results
  • :a: Everyone should read the improvements section of the survey and choose items that need discussion. @ktoso to start forum thread to post chosen items to
