Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] Unavailability macros for APIs that aren't going to be implemented on Linux?

I think a compile-time failure is appropriate and most helpful to a developer. On 2 August 2017 at 09:38, Alex Blewitt via swift-corelibs-dev < swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: > > On 28 Jul 2017, at 20:30, Alex Blewitt via swift-corelibs-dev < > swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: > > In

Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] Unavailability macros for APIs that aren't going to be implemented on Linux?

This sounds like a good plan to me. We’ll have to discuss the specifics of what is marked unavailable this way, probably best via code review. I think we had more hope for some of the more-dynamic methods (e.g. NSSortDescriptor, NSExpression), but it does seem clear at this point that the

Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] Unavailability macros for APIs that aren't going to be implemented on Linux?

Hi Al, thanks for bringing this up. My view is that we shouldn't have API in the project which is never going to be implemented. The contents of swift-corelibs-foundation should represent a baseline of fundamental types and functionality which is useful to all applications and can be implemented
