Warning
The Swift codeql package is an experimental and unsupported work in progress.
Usage
First ensure you have Bazel installed, for example with
brew install bazelisk
then from the ql directory run
bazel run //swift:create-extractor-pack
which will install swift/extractor-pack.
Using --search-path=swift/extractor-pack will then pick up the Swift extractor. You can also use
--search-path=., as the extractor pack is mentioned in the root codeql-workspace.yml.
Notice you can run bazel run :create-extractor-pack if you already are in the swift directory.
Code generation
Run
bazel run //swift/codegen
to update generated files. This can be shortened to
bazel run codegen if you are in the swift directory.
IDE setup
CLion and the native bazel plugin
You can use CLion with the official IntelliJ Bazel plugin, creating the project from scratch with default options. This is known to have issues on non-Linux platforms.
CMake project
The CMakeLists.txt file allows to load the Swift extractor as a CMake project, which allows integration into a wider
variety of IDEs. Building with CMake also creates a compile_commands.json compilation database that can be picked up
by even more IDEs. In particular, opening the swift directory in VSCode should work.
