Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] Wrapping up Swift 3 for swift-corelibs

[David P Grove via swift-corelibs-dev]

Bug filed:  https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-2309

I've prototyped potential solution #2 this morning (embedding yet another
copy of the blocks runtime into libdispatch).I need to do a little
cleanup of the build plumbing, but it is workable.

I have time to work on it this week once there is a consensus on the
approach.

Can someone file a bug to track how we are going to resolve this issue, and
outline our options? I want to make sure we have enough eyes on it to make
sure we get what we need for Swift 3.

  the availability of the blocks runtime - it would either need to

  package.

  Hi Tony,

  Hopefully this is on the task list already, but if it isn't we should
  add it before it gets to be too late to change the compiler...

  When compiling a Swift program on Linux that imports Dispatch (or
  Foundation once the integration is done), the user has to give the
  extra compilation flags -Xcc -fblocks to enable block support.

  We really need to land a change somewhere so that either (1) blocks
  support is always on for Linux or (2) importing Dispatch or
  Foundation automatically turns on blocks support.

  I have some time today and tomorrow that I could use to work on this
  if no one is handling it already, but I'm not sure how best to tackle
  the problem.  Suggestions?

Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] in-app purchase

[Shawn Erickson via swift-corelibs-dev]

This isn't likely a good list for this discussion maybe Swift users but
more likely the Apple developer forums would be better. You say your code
is fully of errors? Do you mean compile errors? If so if you post some
small code samples and errors we could possibly help.

Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] Query on init methods in Data.swift

[Simon Evans via swift-corelibs-dev]

Hi Tony,

Thats good to know, I have actually done a fix to convert them both to 
non-optional, I will create a PR once the jenkins CI is working again and my 
PR#501 is merged.
