David, Chris,
Thanks again for the responses regarding libdispatch (GCD) on Linux with
Swift 3.0. I took a stab at building what was there and indeed, I see

UIViews which I doubt is appropriate here).
I certainly hope GCD is inc

Howdy all,
While working to convert some NSThread code over to GCD on Linux I noticed
that (to my dismay) GCD wasn't included in the Swift 3.0 preview build, nor
is it apart of the buildbot for Linux. Scouring through the repository and
mailing lists I can see where it is possible to build, but t
