------------------------------------------
Summary: Finish the conversion to native swift
Key: THRIFT-4547
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4547
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Story
Components: Swift - Library
Affects Versions: 0.12.0
Reporter: James E. King, III
Assignee: Chris Simpson
Support for Swift-3 was added in THRIFT-3773, however this work needs to be
completed.
Are there breaking changes?
{quote}No/Yes? The compiler is written to allow for the Old Cocoa/Swift with a
compiler flag, so anyone still using swift 1 or 2 should still be able to use
the Cocoa style generator but will have to use a compiler flag
{quote}
Are they documented?
{quote}I don't believe thats documented anywhere
{quote}
Is it already running in the cross test or is that future work?
{quote}No tests written for this, that is future work
{quote}
Can this be exercised in the Travis CI build environment? (make check, make
cross?)
{quote}Should be exercisable in Travis though no tests currently
{quote}
Can I add swift support to Ubuntu Xenial and Artful?
{quote}I'm not sure where the Swift compiler support for Xenial and Artful
currently is, but should be available.
{quote}
What minimum and maximum versions are known supported?
{quote}Given backwards compatibility with Cocoa/Swift generator this should
work with all Swift versions v1 through v4 (for Swift 1 and 2, the Cocoa
library which is Obj-C is required along with the cocoa flag when generating
code, for Swift 3+ the dedicated Swift library is required)
{quote}
Has the LANGUAGES.md file been updated?
{quote}LANGUAGES.md has not been updated
{quote}
Has the build/docker/README.md file been updated?
{quote}build/docker/README.md have not been updated
{quote}
Is this supposed to replace the cocoa implementation? Should that be removed?
{quote}The cocoa implementation is separate from this implementation. The Cocoa
compiler/libraries exist for Obj-C, and Swift 1 & 2, whereas Swift 3+ operate
independently without Cocoa (as Swift 3 and up can run on Linux without Obj-C
runtime/libraries). That being said the old Swift/Cocoa compiler is
"gone/removed" and there is "only 1 Swift compiler" given the old Swift/Cocoa
compiler is integrated in this as a compiler flag
