Before merging this pull request to apple/swift repository:

  • Test pull request on Swift continuous integration.

Triggering Swift CI

The swift-ci is triggered by writing a comment on this PR addressed to the GitHub user @swift-ci. Different tests will run depending on the specific comment that you use. The currently available comments are:

Smoke Testing

Platform Comment
All supported platforms @swift-ci Please smoke test
All supported platforms @swift-ci Please smoke test and merge
OS X platform @swift-ci Please smoke test OS X platform
Linux platform @swift-ci Please smoke test Linux platform

A smoke test on macOS does the following:

  1. Builds the compiler incrementally.
  2. Builds the standard library only for macOS. Simulator standard libraries and
    device standard libraries are not built.
  3. lldb is not built.
  4. The test and validation-test targets are run only for macOS. The optimized
    version of these tests are not run.

A smoke test on Linux does the following:

  1. Builds the compiler incrementally.
  2. Builds the standard library incrementally.
  3. lldb is built incrementally.
  4. The swift test and validation-test targets are run. The optimized version of these
    tests are not run.
  5. lldb is tested.

String literal expressions, as well as the magic literals #file and
tuple value that is then fed into one or two call expressions. For
string literals, that tuple value was implicitly splatted, breaking
AST invariants.

Instead, keep string literals and these magic literals that produce a
string as a single expression node, but store the declarations that
will be used to transform the raw literal into the complete
literal. SILGen will form the appropriate calls. This representation
is far simpler---the AST no longer has a bunch of implicit nodes---and
doesn't break AST invariants.
