I don't think there's any inherent reason why the Swift type systems can't implement `GetBasicTypeEnumeration` and `GetBasicTypeFromAST`, it's most likely something that just wasn't needed before. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/147064 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
