Compiler Optimizations, Compiling Optimally, and Whole Modules

DEPRECATED for Xcode 10 🎈

(check out What's New in Swift at 11:40, slide 42)

Whole Module Compilation Optimizations: Why these terms are sometimes misleading

When you look up how to compile swift faster for debug builds, people very earnestly give advice that seems contradictory: you should "try using the whole module optimization flag," and also "never use whole module optimization for debugging". [^1]

This is confusing because some of us are using these two general words:

compilation: "turning text into an executable program"

extension UserDefaults {
subscript<T>(key: String) -> T? {
get {
return value(forKey: key) as? T
}
set {
set(newValue, forKey: key)
}
}

Add iOS project to Fabric/Crashlytics without using Fabric app. Requires use of cocoapods.
  • create a new project from Xcode
  • open a terminal, go to the project folder
  • pod init
  • open Podfile, add:
pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics'
  • pod install
  • open workspace

Concrete proposal for async semantics in Swift

Async semantics proposal for Swift

Modern Cocoa development involves a lot of asynchronous programming using blocks and NSOperations. A lot of APIs are exposing blocks and they are more natural to write a lot of logic, so we'll only focus on block-based APIs.

Block-based APIs are hard to use when number of operations grows and dependencies between them become more complicated. In this paper I introduce asynchronous semantics and Promise type to Swift language (borrowing ideas from design of throw-try-catch and optionals). Functions can opt-in to become async, programmer can compose complex logic involving asynchronous operations while compiler produces necessary closures to implement that logic. This proposal does not propose new runtime model, nor "actors" or "coroutines".
