James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4547:
-------------------------------------------
The thrift master now has swift 4.2.1 installed in the build docker image and
the build is running unit tests. The next step is to get someone to write
cross test client and server in swift and plug it into the test framework.
> Finish the conversion to native swift (LANGUAGES.md, cross test)

> Key: THRIFT-4547
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4547
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Story
> Components: Swift - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: James E. King III
> Assignee: Chris Simpson
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Support for Swift-3 was added in THRIFT-3773, however this work needs to be
> completed.
> Are there breaking changes?
> {quote}No/Yes? The compiler is written to allow for the Old Cocoa/Swift with
> a compiler flag, so anyone still using swift 1 or 2 should still be able to
> use the Cocoa style generator but will have to use a compiler flag
> {quote}
> Are they documented?
> {quote}I don't believe thats documented anywhere
> {quote}
> Is it already running in the cross test or is that future work?
> {quote}No tests written for this, that is future work
> {quote}
> Can this be exercised in the Travis CI build environment? (make check, make
> cross?)
> {quote}Should be exercisable in Travis though no tests currently
> {quote}
> Can I add swift support to Ubuntu Xenial and Artful?
> {quote}I'm not sure where the Swift compiler support for Xenial and Artful
> currently is, but should be available.
> {quote}
> What minimum and maximum versions are known supported?
> {quote}Given backwards compatibility with Cocoa/Swift generator this should
> work with all Swift versions v1 through v4 (for Swift 1 and 2, the Cocoa
> library which is Obj-C is required along with the cocoa flag when generating
> code, for Swift 3+ the dedicated Swift library is required)
> {quote}
> Has the LANGUAGES.md file been updated?
> {quote}LANGUAGES.md has not been updated
> {quote}
> Has the build/docker/README.md file been updated?
> {quote}build/docker/README.md have not been updated
> {quote}
> Is this supposed to replace the cocoa implementation? Should that be removed?
> {quote}The cocoa implementation is separate from this implementation. The
> Cocoa compiler/libraries exist for Obj-C, and Swift 1 & 2, whereas Swift 3+
> operate independently without Cocoa (as Swift 3 and up can run on Linux
> without Obj-C runtime/libraries). That being said the old Swift/Cocoa
> compiler is "gone/removed" and there is "only 1 Swift compiler" given the old
> Swift/Cocoa compiler is integrated in this as a compiler flag
> {quote}
