[swift-corelibs-dev] NSURLSession & libcurl

[Daniel Eggert]

I think that would make a giant mess. I'm curious how far off we are for having lob libdispatch on Linux. I think it would be worth waiting a bit longer I n stead of making the code illegible. Just my 2￠.

This would make NSURLSession and related classes functional with a custom toolchain that has Dispatch, on Linux. It'd also make them functional on OS X.

In that case, could we have the failing tests (if any) excluded (only on Linux perhaps) and have this merged please? Some of us at IBM would like to work with the current implementation and contribute on top of it.
