Xcode 10.2 and Swift 5 problem building

[linksmt]

Hi,

on Xcosw 10.2 and in particular with swift 5 there's a serious problem.
Here is:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_swift_getFieldAt", referenced from: closure #1 (Swift.Int) -> (Swift.String, Any.Type) in (extension in Reflection):Reflection.NominalType.fieldNamesAndTypes(for: Any.Type) -> [(Swift.String, Any.Type)]? in NominalType.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I've searched on google and found this blog post:

Can you help?

Thanks.

I'm fairly certain this repo isn't compatible with Swift 5 yet...

[mapo80]

Any plan to support swift 5?

Easier said than done, although it seems like @paulofaria is working on it.

Anyone relying on Swift 4.2's metadata layout will have a lot more work in general moving to Swift 5's final layouts.

Let’s wait for a resolution

Hi all, here they found solution: wickwirew/Runtime#37

[NSExceptional]

@paulofaria is already over there too haha. Can't wait for this to be fixed 😄

[mapo80]

No news?

Any updates on this?

@filbertasurion @mapo80 @NSExceptional @tanner0101 I'd highly recommend migrating to wickwirew/Runtime as it's a maintained version of this lib and operates very similarly.

I tried Runtime, but it's crashing when I'm trying to do the code below from Zewo/Reflection:

// Reflection can be extended for higher-level packages to do mapping and serializing.
// Here is a simple Mappable protocol that allows deserializing of arbitrary nested structures.

import Reflection

typealias MappableDictionary = [String : Any]

enum Error : ErrorProtocol {
case missingRequiredValue(key: String)
}

protocol Mappable {
init(dictionary: MappableDictionary) throws
}

extension Mappable {

init(dictionary: MappableDictionary) throws {
    self = try construct { property in
        if let value = dictionary[property.key] {
            if let type = property.type as? Mappable.Type, let value = value as? MappableDictionary {
                return try type.init(dictionary: value)
            } else {
                return value
            }
        } else {
            throw Error.missingRequiredValue(key: property.key)
        }
    }
}

}

struct Person : Mappable {
var firstName: String
var lastName: String
var age: Int
var phoneNumber: PhoneNumber
}

struct PhoneNumber : Mappable {
var number: String
var type: String
}

let dictionary = [
"firstName" : "Jane",
"lastName" : "Miller",
"age" : 54,
"phoneNumber" : [
"number" : "924-555-0294",
"type" : "work"
] as MappableDictionary
] as MappableDictionary

let person = try Person(dictionary: dictionary)

Dang even Runtime has its own Xcode 10.2 issue, but at least Zewo/Reflection is able to load my nested structs.

[wickwirew]

@filbertasurion just tried the code above and it works for me in Xcode 10.2 with swift 5. Make sure you have the latest version installed. If it doesn't work feel free to open an issue 👍

[filbertasurion]

Could you share the code on how these were written on Runtime? I've used Xcode 10.2 with swift 4.0 and I'm still getting Swift Compiler Error. Thanks!

After all debugging & research with the help of alibaba/HandyJSON@da72f29

I changed _swift_getFieldAt with swift_getTypeByMangledNameInContext in Nominal.swift file @line 31.

@_silgen_name("swift_getFieldAt") ---> @_silgen_name("swift_getTypeByMangledNameInContext")

I am able to compile & test successfully with this small change.

Try this & share your feedback
