Proposal: emitting source information file during compilation

Swift module files do not store the source locations (file:line:column) of their declarations. While this is by design, the lack of source location information has certain downsides:

A tool that runs during a build and processes Swift module files (like the ABI checker) cannot emit diagnostics that can point to the source location where a declaration is written

The compiler itself cannot emit diagnostics pointing to user code if the declaration was imported from another module

A tuple conformance idea

This just popped into my head today. What if we could combine the ideas of:

withoutActuallyEscaping(_: do:)

AnyHashable

to work around slapping protocols onto tuples?

Partial sorting?

Just cruising the C++ algorithm list and wondered about std::partial_sort and std::nth_element

@natecook1000 :

Thanks for bringing these up, @CTMacUser — we probably will eventually want both of the C++ algorithms in the standard library. Partial sorting is more efficient than sorting a whole collection if you only need the smallest n of your elements.

‘FrameworkName’ is not a member type of ‘FrameworkName’ errors inside swiftinterface

I've been trying to create a XCFramework and having some difficulties with the .swiftinterface file that presents error.

@jrose-apple wrote:

it's a longstanding bug/limitation in Swift that if you have a type and a framework with the same name, the name is always assumed to refer to the type. @brentdax is looking at some alternate ways to provide a module name in Pitch: Fully qualified name syntax that the module interface generator will be able to use; for now, though, you can work around this issue by renaming either your framework or the type in it.
