[swift-corelibs-dev] Foundation and explicit pointer nullability (CI edition)

[Jordan Rose via swift-corelibs-dev]

Hi, swift-corelibs-dev. I'm planning to land the changes for SE-0055: Making 
pointer nullability explicit 

 this afternoon in the Swift compiler; however, the corresponding diff for 
Foundation is fairly large (PR #304 
). Because of 
this, we've decided to hold off on migrating Foundation to the new model for 
UnsafePointer, so that it can be reviewed at leisure. This means that for a 
period of time, swift-corelibs-foundation will not build against the 'master' 
branch of the compiler. Instead, we're going to make a branch today that's 
passed all the CI checks, and use that for regression-testing (and building) 
Foundation for now.

Mishal, Jacob, or I will send a follow-up email once the compiler branch has 
been created, and another once CI has been updated.

Update: we've created the master-before-optional-pointers branch at ff373e9, 
but run into some complications putting this plan into action. (Specifically, I 
forgot that SwiftPM depends on XCTest for its test cases, and that XCTest of 
course depends on Foundation.) I'll send another message tomorrow with any new 
developments.
