Thanks for taking the time to do this!

I'm testing these changes out locally.

It appears that the SHA for swift-format needs an update.

Welcome! This PR took me quite a while and I changed from 5.6.1 to 5.6.2 at some point, so it's possible that some other SHAs need updates as well. Meanwhile, I updated the one for swift-format.

Verified build on my Ubuntu setup. All validation tests pass. Simple programs compile and function as expected.

Great work! I recommend adding yourself as a maintainer @Trundle!

LGTM. Thank you for your work. Yes, it is a lot of work updating because of how Apple structures the subrepos and build, which make it basically impossible to automate. There are also some internal inconsistencies in how they invoke Python that don't comply with PEP 394.

How is x86_64-linux failing but aarch64-linux succeeding?

How is x86_64-linux failing but aarch64-linux succeeding?

I haven't seen this before and the previous runs were all successful. Possibly a flaky test or some issue with the runner (e.g. out of memory)

[SuperSandro2000]

Maybe we should disable the test(s) that are flaky.

[dduan]

the failing test is AutoDiff/compiler_crashers_fixed/sr14290-missing-debug-scopes-in-pullback-trampoline.swift. Pretty random since this type of regression tests don't usually fail (they are there to guard against failures from source changes). Nevertheless we may want to disable it.

[Trundle]

I personally think it's a bit hasty to call a test flaky if it only failed once for not-so-clear reasons, but if that is what is needed to move this PR forward, I'm happy to disable it.

Hi @Trundle , I am getting following error. Is there any plan to support this in future ?

error: Package ‘swift-5.6.2’ in /nix/store/1is4128ymlh2pd0amyq5hw8d1gm6im4h-source/pkgs/development/compilers/swift/default.nix:464 is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’, refusing to evaluate.

[dduan]

We never had Darwin support here. It would be a separate, none trivial effort to enable it.

[stephank]

Darwin support is tracked in #37473.
