Swift compiler update?

append delete Graeme Love

Hi,

How often do you tend to update the Swift compiler version that you distribute with the toolset? It appears that the current release supports 5.5.1, whereas the official release is now using 5.6.1.

The reason I am asking is because I was investigating using the new StoreKit API which only seems to have a Switft interface. I started figuring out how to write an Obj-C wrapper to allow me to call it from our code but with the current toolset I would be unable to compile this on Win64 as the Swift compiler version doesn't match the version that the Apple frameworks were built with.

Thanks,

Graeme

Hello Graeme,

I update the Swift compiler along with LLVM/Clang. I use Apple's version, which they publish at https://github.com/apple/llvm-project and I see that they've pushed 5.6.1 on 5th of April. Looks like I missed that info. Time to update I guess !

P.S. for other readers: he was talking about version *3.49* of the builder.

Another illustration why posting the requested information when you create a new thread is important.

My apologies for not including the build tools version. I'll do better in the future :)

The new version of the tools is built, doing the testing phase now.

Update: there are crash bugs to fix in clang 13. Hopefully it won't take me days to catch them... Thank you for your patience.
