(In reply to Ron Olson from comment #8)
I've been playing around with a downloaded copy of Swift in
conjunction with
an installed copy of lldb and I believe that the swift binary is explicitly
looking for lldb in the same directory to run the REPL; I've asked on the
Swift forums to confirm my findings.
It seems that the copy of lldb is inclusive of existing functionality (i.e.
I tested that it also debugs C/C++ executables as well), but that doesn't
really matter insofar as it's not the same copy that ships with the existing
lldb rpm. I believe the lldb that is included with Swift is essentially a
fork with additional functionality to support Swift.
I'd like to float the possibility of allowing the installation to be put in
/opt/fedora per
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Limited_usage_of_.2Fopt.
2C_.2Fetc.2Fopt.2C_and_.2Fvar.2Fopt. I'm looking to get more
information/confirmation from the Swift group before making the formal
proposal.
I was looking at the wrong repo for llvm/lldb...they seem to have references to
Swift so I'm currently building the latest version of llvm/lldb and see what's
available; it may be possible to just tie Swift with a later version of LLDB so
that the two can coexist.
