[swift-users] How to bridge between CoreFoundation and SwiftFoundation on Linux?

[Bouke Haarsma]

The code is for another project. I’m trying to build a (partial) Swift implementation of NetService. See also https://github.com/Bouke/NetService/tree/linux <https://github.com/Bouke/NetService/tree/linux>.

Apparently that protocol is EOL;

>     var _cfObject: CFType { get }
