Hi Lars, Unfortunately, I don’t think there is anything planned for Swift 3 in this area. Beyond that we just don’t have any concrete information yet.
This is a pretty big topic, so it’s likely we’ll need to have some extended design discussions about what reflection or runtime dynamism in general looks like in Swift in the future. KVO/KVC take advantage of a huge number of dynamic ObjC features, and Mirror is not even remotely capable of most of it right now. Mirrors were designed for debugging support. - Tony > On Jun 25, 2016, at 6:27 AM, Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf via swift-corelibs-dev > <swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: > > To my understanding the real reason why this is currently not possible is > rooted in the limitations of struct Mirror, which, for instance, lacks the > support for writing and the reflection of methods. > > So it boils down to the following: Are there currently any plans to extend > the capabilities of struct Mirror to support better reflection? > > > Trying to answer this question I found this post: > > https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-users/Week-of-Mon-20151214/000512.html > > where Joe Groff says there is something planned. > > > Are there any news on this, maybe a rough timeframe or Swift version for > which to expect better reflection support? > > > Thanks, > > Lars > >> Am 12.06.2016 um 20:40 schrieb Philippe Hausler <phaus...@apple.com>: >> >> Both KVC and KVO require dynamic dispatching and selector manipulation that >> is not present in swift-corelibs-foundation (since everything is based on >> swift objects). >> >>> On Jun 12, 2016, at 10:54 AM, Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf via >>> swift-corelibs-dev <swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: >>> >>> Hi everybody, >>> >>> it came to my attention that the NSKeyValueCoding protocol which is a part >>> of the Darwin-(ObjC-)Foundation (see >>> https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Protocols/NSKeyValueCoding_Protocol/ >>> ) is somehow omitted here: >>> https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Docs/Status.md >>> >>> Was this done on purpose or is the implementation of NSKeyValueCoding still >>> forthcoming? >>> >>> Thanks, >>> >>> Lars >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> swift-corelibs-dev mailing list >>> swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org >>> https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-corelibs-dev >> > > _______________________________________________ > swift-corelibs-dev mailing list > swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org > https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-corelibs-dev _______________________________________________ swift-corelibs-dev mailing list swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-corelibs-dev
