Thanks for the suggestion.
I took a stab at adding Swift package manager support to CleanroomLogger
<https://github.com/emaloney/CleanroomLogger>. The trickiest part was getting
the C headers for the Apple System Log exposed as a Swift module
<https://github.com/emaloney/AppleSystemLogSwiftPackage> so it could be
imported by the CleanroomASL <https://github.com/emaloney/CleanroomASL>
dependency. (The Swift Package Manager doesn't support bridging headers, which
makes hooking up to non-Swift code a bit cumbersome. Thanks to the kind folks
on the swift-build-dev mailing list, I got it sorted.)
I built a command line tool with 'swift build' and was able to 'import
CleanroomLogger' by specifying a dependency like the following in a
Package.swift file:
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/emaloney/CleanroomLogger";, versions:
Version(1,5,6) ..< Version(2,0,0))
]
)
With this package, I created a main.swift file:
import CleanroomLogger
Log.enable(synchronousMode: true)
Log.info?.trace()
And built & ran it from the Terminal:
INFO | main.swift:5 — loggertest
It worked!!!
Very gratifying to see Swift package manager build something without too much
effort.
