Hi, I'm a FreeBSD developer who has been working on porting swift to FreeBSD. I'm at a point where with a local patch ( https://people.freebsd.org/~davide/swift/build_freebsd.diff ) to fix build errors I'm able to build the compiler itself on FreeBSD 11 (-CURRENT).
The compiler itself seems to work fine (at least semantic analysis is able to produce the correct result for toy examples). Example: % cat hello.swift let number = 4 println(number) % ./swiftc hello.swift -o hello hello.swift:2:1: error: 'println' has been renamed to 'print' println(number) ^~~~~~~ [...] The executables generated seem to have some problems, though. This is what I see: % cat hello2.swift let number = 4 print(number) % ./swiftc hello2.swift -o hello2 % ./hello2 Int(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(Stri ng(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(Strin g(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String (String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String( String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(String(St [...] Rebuilding with symbols and trying to debug: (gdb) down #17750 0x0000000800d1f07e in _TFs5printFTGSaP__9separatorSS10terminatorSS_T_ (items=..., separator=..., terminator=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/Print.swift:34 34 items, separator: separator, terminator: terminator, toStream: &output) (gdb) #17749 0x0000000800d1f57b in _TFs6_printuRxs16OutputStreamTyperFTGSaP__9separatorSS10terminatorSS8toStreamRx_T_ (items=..., separator=..., terminator=..., output=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/Print.swift:128 128 _print_unlocked(item, &output) (gdb) #17748 0x0000000800d1b099 in _TFs15_print_unlockedu0_R_s16OutputStreamTyperFTxRq__T_ (value=..., target=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/OutputStream.swift:193 193 _adHocPrint(value, &target, isDebugPrint: false) (gdb) #17747 0x0000000800d1960b in _TFs11_adHocPrintu0_R_s16OutputStreamTyperFTxRq_12isDebugPrintSb_T_ (value=..., isDebugPrint=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/OutputStream.swift:124 124 print(label, terminator: "", toStream: &target) (gdb) #17746 0x0000000800d1a7ed in _TFs5printuRxs16OutputStreamTyperFTGSaP__9separatorSS10terminatorSS8toStreamRx_T_ (items=..., separator=..., terminator=..., output=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/Print.swift:91 91 _print(items, separator: separator, terminator: terminator, toStream: &output) (gdb) #17745 0x0000000800d1f57b in _TFs6_printuRxs16OutputStreamTyperFTGSaP__9separatorSS10terminatorSS8toStreamRx_T_ (items=..., separator=..., terminator=..., output=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/Print.swift:128 128 _print_unlocked(item, &output) (gdb) #17744 0x0000000800d1b099 in _TFs15_print_unlockedu0_R_s16OutputStreamTyperFTxRq__T_ (value=..., target=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/OutputStream.swift:193 193 _adHocPrint(value, &target, isDebugPrint: false) (gdb) #17743 0x0000000800d1960b in _TFs11_adHocPrintu0_R_s16OutputStreamTyperFTxRq_12isDebugPrintSb_T_ (value=..., isDebugPrint=...) at /exps/swift/swift/stdlib/public/core/OutputStream.swift:124 124 print(label, terminator: "", toStream: &target) I have some suspicion this may be related to my local patch (although I can't say that for sure). I'm still new to the internals of the language so any help on how what could it be the root cause and how to try to debug this will be appreciated.
