Hi Michael,
I’m building the debug swift compiler via ./utils/build-script -r —debug-swift.
I assume, perhaps wrongly, that implies a debug stdlib.

Yes, with the exception that I cannot use —force-optimized-typechecker because
I’m hacking on the type checker. Otherwise, this is what I’m doing to make
debug builds go as fast as possible:
./utils/build-script \
--llvm-targets-to-build X86 \
--skip-ios --skip-tvos --skip-watchos \
--skip-build-benchmarks true \
--build-swift-static-stdlib false \
--build-swift-static-sdk-overlay false \
--build-swift-dynamic-sdk-overlay false \
--build-swift-stdlib-unittest-extra false \
--extra-cmake-options \\-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-Werror=switch \
-r \
--debug-swift \
"$@"
