docker-swiftlint

In this document, using amd64, arm64 for platform architecture for docker, and x86_64, aarch64 for Swift architecture.

builder directory

Build without Swift SDK (no-sdk)

Build image for docker host architecture

docker buildx build --load builder/ -t swiftlint

Build multi-architecture image (x86_64-no-sdk, aarch64-no-sdk)

docker buildx build --load builder/ -t swiftlint \
    --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64

Cross compilation on BUILDER_IAMGE using TARGET_IMAGE as Swift SDK

Setup TARGET_IMAGE as the Swift SDK for the target architecture, and use them from Swift Toolchain in BUILDER_IMAGE.

Supported combinations of TARGET_IMAGE and BUILDER_IMAGE are as follows:

Using --build-arg USE_SDK=1 for building with Swift SDK

Build arm64 architecture image using Swift SDK (aarch64-on-aarch64)

docker buildx build --load builder/ -t swiftlint \
    --platform linux/arm64 --build-arg USE_SDK=1

Using --build-arg CROSS=1 for cross compilation with Swift SDK

Build arm64 architecture image on amd64 architecture using Swift SDK (aarch64-on-x86_64)

docker buildx build --load builder/ -t swiftlint \
    --platform linux/arm64 --build-arg CROSS=1

Using --build-arg CROSS_TARGETARCHS=... for cross compiling target architectures with Swift SDK

Build multi-architecture image, native compileed arm64 (aarch64-no-sdk), cross compiled amd64 (x86_64-on-aarch64).

docker buildx build --load builder/ -t swiftlint \
    --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --build-arg CROSS_TARGETARCHS=amd64

This command minimizes the use of emulation on arm64 host.

copier directory

Expected to use swiftlint binary built in builder directory.

Running aarch64 executable generated with Swift on x86_64 Ubuntu (GitHub Hosted Actions Runner) using qemu-user-static

There is a known issue where running an aarch64 executable generated with Swift on x86_64 Ubuntu using the default qemu-user-static results in a crash. https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-runtime-unable-to-suspend-thread-when-compiling-in-qemu/67676

This issue can be avoided by using qemu-user-static-7.2 distributed by Debian. There are two methods to install it:

• For rootful docker, run docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:7.2.0-1 --reset -p yes.
  This method can be used as long as the docker installed on the GitHub Actions Runner is rootful.
• Setup debian sources to apt on host and install it. See install_qemu_user_static_from_debian as an example.
