[swift-dev] Trying to use Swift libSyntax API. "Module compiled with Swift 4.1 cannot be imported in Swift 4.0.1"

[Michael Gubik]

What I missed was that you have to use the freshly built compiler to
compile your sample program using SwiftSyntax. (Thanks to Harlan for
pointing that out.)
Xcode won't work here (yet). After building swiftpm (`./utils/build-script
--release-debuginfo --swiftpm`) you can use it to create an executable

/Users/mmg/swift-source/build/Ninja-RelWithDebInfoAssert/swiftpm-macosx-x86_64/x86_64-apple-macosx10.10/debug/swift-package
init --type executable
/Users/mmg/swift-source/build/Ninja-RelWithDebInfoAssert/swiftpm-macosx-x86_64/x86_64-apple-macosx10.10/debug/
swift-build
/Users/mmg/swift-source/build/Ninja-RelWithDebInfoAssert/swiftpm-macosx-x86_64/x86_64-apple-macosx10.10/debug/
swift-run

and then replace the main.swift with e.g. Harlan's example
swift-format.swift
<https://gist.github.com/harlanhaskins/b2ed96b64a551214a7f2c7717c285dce>

It should find the SwiftSyntax.swiftmodule and the corresponding dylib
automatically.

I hope this helps in case you want to try it.

What's worth noting is that if you want a json view of the available syntax
information you can simply run `path/to/your/freshly/built/*swiftc
-frontend -emit-syntax* Example.swift`
