because the solution described in SR-3583 is not yet available, we have
been using the "--build-path" argument when building inside Docker
containers or VMs as a way to avoid overriding the .build folder on the
macOS host:</font><font size="3"><br></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><br>swift build --configuration debug --build-path .build-ubuntu-1404</font><font size="3"><br></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><br>If SR-3583 gets implemented, then SR-5259 would be certainly beneficial
for our buildpack. As you pointed out, with SR-5259, the buildpack would
be able to determine the build path at runtime without having to hard code
it. In our buildpack we could execute "swift build --bin-path",
which I assume would output something along these lines: “.build/macosx-x86_64”,
“.build/ubuntu-1404”, etc... correct?</font><br><br><font size="3">Actually, I think it should contain the full path, including
the configuration folder:</font><br><br><font size="3">.build/macosx-x86_64/debug</font><br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Question... would "swift build
--display-build-path" be a better option than "swift build --bin-path"
to display the path to the build folder? I am thinking this would align
better with the current <br>"--build-path" option that exists now:</font><br><br><font size="3">The path mentioned by those options are different.</font><br><br><font size="3">--build-path allows setting the root build folder, and
the build process will then create the necessary platform/configuration
folder structure inside there.</font><br><br><font size="3">On the other hand, the option we plan to introduce will
output the full path the binaries will be built into for a run with the
same options, including the platform and configuration folders, hence the
bin in the name.</font><br><br><font size="3">But we are open to other name suggestions.</font><br><br><font size="2" face="Menlo-Regular">$ swift build --help<br>OVERVIEW: Build sources into binary products</font><font size="3"><br></font><font size="2" face="Menlo-Regular"><br>USAGE: swift build [options]</font><font size="3"><br></font><font size="2" face="Menlo-Regular"><br>OPTIONS:<br> --build-path Specify build/cache
