Explanation: Various C and Objective-C features are implemented using functions in the compiler_rt project, and Swift can end up using some of those features simply by importing inlinable C code. This includes Objective-C's
@available
feature (the equivalent of Swift's#available
). Clang always links the usualclang_rt
library to supply these features, so Swift should too.Scope: Affects the package manager and users manually invoking swiftc to build executables and libraries. (Xcode uses Clang to link.)
Issue: rdar://problem/41911599
Risk: Low. The change is straightforward and the effects should be safe, given that this is what Clang and Xcode already do.
Testing: Added compiler regression tests.
