[swift-users] Need some help understanding test behavior.

[Andrew Trick]

This sounds like a question for the swift-dev list, directed toward whomever has been working on linux/powerpc support...

If you want to see the full command line from a “swiftc” invocation, append “-###” to the command line.

I don’t know what effect -primary-file would have when compiling a single source.

“-c” just means “compile" down to a .o file. The language will be inferred from the file extension I believe.

I have no idea what could be going wrong since I don’t work on tsan or linux, but I suspect that the compile step is succeeding and the link step is failing (-### will also show you the linker command line). The linker should tell you what symbol is missing. Then you can compare the symbols to those the x86 build provides and find out why they’re not available on powerpc.
