This is only tangentially related: but I was attempting to build dispatch as well to start work on CFRunLoop and a few other dispatch bound features in Foundation on linux. I was seeing similar failures as Dzianis Fedarenka. Is there a branch/fork that I can grab to test this stuff out w/ bringing stuff up in Foundation?
My question is that of design and status of where things are at; CFRunLoop requires a method to interoperate with the main dispatch queue via _dispatch_get_main_queue_port_4CF and _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF. CFRunLoop will need to transact upon the same event source type as dispatch to ensure the main queue behaves correctly - so what type of event source should we be using? A socket? A producer/consumer notification via pthread conditions? > On Dec 11, 2015, at 8:27 AM, David P Grove via swift-corelibs-dev > <swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: > > swift-corelibs-dev-boun...@swift.org wrote on 12/11/2015 11:19:15 AM: > > > > The linux port is in progress, and even if it built, right now, it > > wouldn’t be functional. > > > > -Pierre > > > > Yes.
