stack trace of Swift executable

I have a simple main.swift that looks like this:

print("Hello, world!")
let x: String? = nil

func say(message: String?) {
    print(x!) // intentional crash
}

say(message: x)

Running this results in the crash

$ swift build && ./.build/debug/hello
Hello, world!
fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

From the crash, how do I map back line 6 to an actual line in main.swift?

Thanks for articulating this. It is something I have also found somewhat frustrating.

Is there anything that could be done to make swift stack traces more informative? Obj-C traces were very clear. I’d love to get back to that level again.
Best,
Josh

There is a symbolication tool available for Linux in the ~/swift/utils/symbolicate-linux-fatal, and Xcode can do the same symbolication for you as well.

In practice, I would need the stack trace first to figure out how to
reproduce the issue, so lldb doesn't really help.

How would I go about symbolicating this further on macOS (Xcode or
otherwise)?

From reading the docs it seems like the crash report I get is already

completely symbolicated:

That doesn't look symbolicated. If it were symbolicated, and the build used -g, you would have a file and line number for the main+345 frame.

Greg,

This occurs when compiled with swiftc -g as well. In fact, I think 'swift build', when run by default, will compile with swiftc -g. It's only when you run 'swift build --configuration release' that it will compile without it.

$ swiftc --version

I suspect this is because Swift is generating a .dSYM which is read by LLDB but either not read or not loaded by the swift runtime when producing the backtrace:

$ find .
.
./main
./main.dSYM
./main.dSYM/Contents
./main.dSYM/Contents/Info.plist
./main.dSYM/Contents/Resources
./main.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF
./main.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/main
./main.swift

Here's the main file, for repeatability:

$ cat main.swift
print("Hello, world!")
let x: String? = nil

func say(message: String?) {
    print(x!) // intentional crash
}

say(message: x)

There is a symbolication tool available for Linux in the ~/swift/utils/symbolicate-linux-fatal, and Xcode can do the same symbolication for you as well.

The stack trace printed by the process will never include file and line numbers. Swift and ObjC work the same way here.

You want to find the crash report generated by the OS. Either it will have file and line numbers already, or it will contain enough information to look up the file and line numbers after the fact (part of a process called "symbolication").

There is a symbolication tool available for Linux in the ~/swift/utils/symbolicate-linux-fatal, and Xcode can do the same symbolication for you as well.

I have a simple main.swift that looks like this:

print("Hello, world!")
let x: String? = nil

func say(message: String?) {
    print(x!) // intentional crash
}

say(message: x)

Running this results in the crash

$ swift build && ./.build/debug/hello

From the crash, how do I map back line 6 to an actual line in main.swift?
