Swift REPL broken after updating to Sierra, is it just me?

After updating to Sierra I can no longer use the Swift REPL. It crashes
immediately (see Terminal session below). Anyone else having the same
problem, any workaround?

It didn't help to download and reinstall the command line tools for 10.12.

(I had Xcode 8 and 8.1 beta installed before updating to Sierra. It might
have happened just after I did a sudo xcode-select -s
/Applications/Xcode.app )

See Terminal session below.

If you’ve specified “sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app” then it’s surprising that the REPL session is attempting to use the LLDB and SDK from /Applications/Xcode-beta.app. Can you double-check what “xcode-select -p” reports?

I can’t say I’ve seen a segmentation fault on REPL launch. If you see the same behavior once moving to the GM build of Xcode it would definitely be worth filing a radar via bugreport.apple.com with an LLDB crashlog attached to investigate further.

I was trying both Xcode and Xcode-beta, I just happened to copy paste while
Xcode-beta was selected ... Anyway, both of them crash like that.

There is a known bug in libedit's history file reader that can cause this crash. libedit is a system component that lldb uses to do command-line editing and the like.

Try moving ~/.lldb-history to some other name, and then rerunning the REPL. If that works, can you attach that history file to the Radar you mentioned, so we can make sure this is the same history reading bug?

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks! I moved the following to a temporary location:

···

~
├── .lldb
│ ├── lldb-history
│ ├── lldb-repl-history
│ └── lldb-swift-history
└── .lldb-swift-history

And that made the REPL work again.
I will zip and attach those files to 28657007.
