[swift-users] Swift 3 Questions

[simon gladman via swift-users]

Hi All,

I thought I'd attempt updating the code of my Filterpedia
<https://github.com/FlexMonkey/Filterpedia> app to Swift 3. The transition
has been pretty smooth so far, but I have a few issues. I guess my question
over these issues is, are they features or bugs in an early Swift 3 release?

First off, overriding CIFilter requires overriding the *attributes* var
which is of type *[String: AnyObject*]. In Swift 2, the following works
perfectly:

    override var attributes: [String : AnyObject] {

        return [

                   kCIAttributeFilterDisplayName: "CMYK Levels",

                   "inputImage": [kCIAttributeIdentity: 0,

                                  kCIAttributeClass: "CIImage",

                                  kCIAttributeDisplayName: "Image",

                                  kCIAttributeType: kCIAttributeTypeImage]

        ]

    }

However, because the inputImage dictionary entry is a dictionary itself and
kCIAttributeTypeImage is a string, in Swift 3, it appears I have to
explicitly case them to compile:

    override var attributes: [String : AnyObject] {

        return [

                   kCIAttributeFilterDisplayName: "CMYK Levels",

                   "inputImage": [kCIAttributeIdentity: 0,

                                  kCIAttributeClass: "CIImage",

                                  kCIAttributeDisplayName: "Image",

                                  kCIAttributeType: kCIAttributeTypeImage as
AnyObject] as AnyObject

        ]

    }

There's a similar casting issue with the *arguments* parameter of a
kernel's *apply* method. In Swift 2, the following compiles without issue:

        let kernel = CIColorKernel()



        let rect = CGRect(

            x: 0, y: 0,

            width: 100, height: 100)



        let inputRadius: CGFloat = 5.678

        let inputCenter = CIVector(x: 12.3, y: 45.6)

        let inputRect = CIVector(cgRect: rect)

        let inputString = "Xyzzy"



        let arguments = [inputRect,

                         inputRadius,

                         inputCenter,

                         inputString]



        kernel.apply(

            withExtent: rect,

            arguments: arguments)

While in 3, I need to do the following:

        let arguments = [inputRect,

                         inputRadius as AnyObject,

                         inputCenter,

                         inputString as AnyObject] as [AnyObject]

Any thoughts anybody?

Cheers!

Simon
