You don’t need to on Ubuntu. Autorelease pools are only to clean up Objective-C object references. Those don’t exist when you’re not running on an Apple platform; you only have Swift objects. 

That SO question you linked to is talking about code running on macOS or iOS. It doesn’t apply to other platforms.
