Revision bc3890e997967e29e3049cdb01a64dfe70f1e9f0 authored by Doug Gregor on 29 June 2017, 23:27:52 UTC, committed by Doug Gregor on 30 June 2017, 19:07:44 UTC
The small-but-significant change to the generic signature builder is to refuse to create unresolved potential archetypes. Instead, delay any requirement that depends on such type, to be reprocessed once we've seen all of the other requirements. If the type can be resolved later, it will be; Otherwise, the type checker will complain when it sees an unresolvable type. By itself, this fixes the crash in SR-2796. Doing this by itself regresses diagnostics because typo correction in the generic signature builder no longer kicks in. Therefore, implement typo correction for these cases in the type checker proper, using its existing facilities for typo correction. The result is more consistent code with a better result. Fixes SR-2796 / rdar://problem/28544316. (cherry picked from commit ac8e8aa1b30a11962caa42bf30599534eebef956)

**Welcome to Swift!**
Swift is a high-performance system programming language. It has a clean
and modern syntax, offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code
and frameworks, and is memory safe by default.
Although inspired by Objective-C and many other languages, Swift is not itself a
C-derived language. As a complete and independent language, Swift packages core
features like flow control, data structures, and functions, with high-level
constructs like objects, protocols, closures, and generics. Swift embraces
modules, eliminating the need for headers and the code duplication they entail.
## Documentation
To read the documentation, start by installing the
[Sphinx](http://sphinx-doc.org) documentation generator tool by running the command:
`easy_install -U Sphinx`
Once complete, you can build the Swift documentation by changing directory into
[docs](https://github.com/apple/swift/tree/master/docs) and typing `make`. This compiles the `.rst` files in the [docs](https://github.com/apple/swift/tree/master/docs) directory
into HTML in the `docs/_build/html` directory.
Many of the docs are out of date, but you can see some historical design
documents in the `docs` directory.
Another source of documentation is the standard library itself, located in
`stdlib`. Much of the language is actually implemented in the library
(including `Int`), and the standard library gives some examples of what can be
expressed today.
## Getting Started
These instructions give the most direct path to a working Swift
development environment. Options for doing things differently are
discussed below.
### System Requirements
macOS, Ubuntu Linux LTS, and the latest Ubuntu Linux release are the current
supported host development operating systems.
For macOS, you need [Xcode 9 beta 1](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/).
For Ubuntu, you'll need the following development dependencies:
sudo apt-get install git cmake ninja-build clang python uuid-dev libicu-dev icu-devtools libbsd-dev libedit-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev swig libpython-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config libblocksruntime-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev autoconf libtool systemtap-sdt-dev tzdata
**Note:** LLDB currently requires at least `swig-1.3.40` but will successfully build
with version 2 shipped with Ubuntu.
Build instructions for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS can be found [here](docs/Ubuntu14.md)
### Getting Sources for Swift and Related Projects
First create a directory for all of the Swift sources:
mkdir swift-source
cd swift-source
**Note:** This is important since update-checkout (see below) checks out
repositories next to the Swift source directory. This means that if one clones
Swift and has other unrelated repositories, update-checkout may not clone those
repositories and will update them instead.
**Via HTTPS** For those checking out sources as read-only, HTTPS works best:
git clone https://github.com/apple/swift.git
./swift/utils/update-checkout --clone
**Via SSH** For those who plan on regularly making direct commits,
cloning over SSH may provide a better experience (which requires
[uploading SSH keys to GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/)):
git clone git@github.com:apple/swift.git
./swift/utils/update-checkout --clone-with-ssh
#### CMake
[CMake](https://cmake.org) is the core infrastructure used to configure builds of
Swift and its companion projects; at least version 3.4.3 is required. Your
favorite Linux distribution likely already has a CMake package you can install.
On macOS, you can download the [CMake Binary Distribution](https://cmake.org/download),
bundled as an application, copy it to `/Applications`, and add the embedded
command line tools to your `PATH`:
export PATH=/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin:$PATH
#### Ninja
[Ninja](https://ninja-build.org) is the current recommended build system
for building Swift and is the default configuration generated by CMake. If
you're on macOS or don't install it as part of your Linux distribution, clone
it next to the other projects and it will be bootstrapped automatically:
##### Build from source
**Via HTTPS**
git clone https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja.git && cd ninja
git checkout release
cat README
**Via SSH**
git clone git@github.com:ninja-build/ninja.git && cd ninja
git checkout release
cat README
#### Install via third-party packaging tool (macOS only)
**[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)**
brew install cmake ninja
**[MacPorts](https://macports.org)**
sudo port install cmake ninja
### Building Swift
The `build-script` is a high-level build automation script that supports basic
options such as building a Swift-compatible LLDB, building the Swift Package
Manager, building for iOS, running tests after builds, and more. It also
supports presets, which you can define for common combinations of build options.
To find out more:
utils/build-script -h
Note: Arguments after "--" above are forwarded to `build-script-impl`, which is
the ultimate shell script that invokes the actual build and test commands.
A basic command to build Swift with optimizations and run basic tests with
Ninja:
utils/build-script -r -t
## Developing Swift in Xcode
`build-script` can also generate Xcode projects:
utils/build-script -x
The Xcode IDE can be used to edit the Swift source code, but it is not currently
fully supported as a build environment for SDKs other than macOS. If you need to
work with other SDKs, you'll need to create a second build using Ninja.
## Testing Swift
See [docs/Testing.rst](docs/Testing.rst).
## Contributing to Swift
Contributions to Swift are welcomed and encouraged! Please see the [Contributing to Swift guide](https://swift.org/contributing/).
To be a truly great community, [Swift.org](https://swift.org/) needs to welcome developers from all
walks of life, with different backgrounds, and with a wide range of experience.
A diverse and friendly community will have more great ideas, more unique
perspectives, and produce more great code. We will work diligently to make the
Swift community welcoming to everyone.
To give clarity of what is expected of our members, Swift has adopted the
code of conduct defined by the Contributor Covenant. This document is used
across many open source communities, and we think it articulates our values
well. For more, see the [Code of Conduct](https://swift.org/community/#code-of-conduct).
