[swift-users] Serious Issue with Project Preprocessor Build Setting, Xcode 7.3 and Swift.

[Daniel Dunbar]

Swift has never supported referring directly to macros, it only supports "build configurations". I'm still not sure exactly what you have that could have worked previously.

Can you please attach a complete project showing something which worked in 7.2 and does not work now to the bug you filed?

>> To follow on to what Joe said, can you provide more info about the exact problem. Is this a C preprocessor definition that you expect to be available in code imported by the Clang importer (i.e., bridging header files, etc.), or is a a macro you are expecting to use within Swift itself? And please let us know exactly which build setting you are referring to.
