[swift-corelibs-dev] libdispatch prep for integration to the rest of swift-corelibs

[David P Grove]

Thanks Tony,

I will work on putting something together along those lines (leave dispatch
internals unchanged; optionally invoke its build from build-script)

      Currently libdispatch (and libpthread_workqueue) are outliers in that
      they use autotools instead of CMake. Do we need to convert dispatch
      (and eventually workqueue) to using CMake to get the build system
      integration? Or do you want to leave libdispatch using autotools to
      drive its build and get swift-build to invoke a more or less
      unchanged autotools build for dispatch?

      I have time to work on this, but would appreciate some guidance on
      what the desired outcome is.

      thanks,

I don’t think using autotools is a barrier to integration into the larger
build script. swift-corelibs-foundation actually builds with a pile of
custom python right now. I think we want to preserve as much of dispatch’s
current build system as possible. The swift/utils/build-script process is
pretty flexible (since it’s a bunch of scripts itself).

Thanks,
- Tony
