…evolution via unsafe flags There isn't currently a way for package authors to enable library evolution or module interfaces from the package manifest. They can pass `-enable-library-evolution` in their unsafe flags, but because `-emit-module-interface` requires a path parameter, it isn't something that can be set in the manifest. This adds a way to infer XCBuild settings based on values set in manifest-declared settings. The idea is to implement semantics appropriately for each platform based on generalized flags passed from the manifest. rdar://78773077

@swift-ci please smoke test |
|
The Linux build doesn't seem to have gotten as far as SwiftPM. Restarting. |
|
Actually, that was a macOS build. In any case, restarting. |

@swift-ci please smoke test |

@swift-ci please smoke test linux |

Merging this after discussion with @shahmishal to unblock the compatibility suite testing, since we think the lack of a .swiftinterface is the problem there. Will review the approach with @tomerd and @neonichu in particular afterwards and put up a PR for any refinements. |

Enable swift module interfaces for targets that are compiled with
enable-library-evolution. This supports the intent of building a module that way.Motivation:
There isn't currently a way for package authors to enable library evolution or module interfaces from the package manifest. They can pass
-enable-library-evolutionin their unsafe flags, but because-emit-module-interfacerequires a path parameter, it isn't something that can be set in the manifest.This change enables swift module interfaces when a library does specify
-enable-library-evolutionin its unsafe flags, supporting the semantic intent of providing that flag.This is useful in the general case, but is most immediately needed to generate .swiftinterface files for #3431.
Modifications:
-emit-module-interfacewhen-enable-library-evolutionis specifiedswift-buildflag-emit-parseable-module-interfaces, though this is next to useless now because it applies across-the-board, even when library evolution is not enabled, yielding warnings about how library evolution is required for that flag to functionResult:
-enable-library-evolutionwill also have a parseable module interface generated, which supports the intent of setting that flagrdar://78773077
