I have an Obj-C Project I'm trying to migrate to Swift. I did succeed with various classes but recently ran into an issue I can't seem to make sense of. When I try to compile my current code base I get the following (SUPER UNHELPFUL ERROR MESSAGE)
Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swiftc failed with exit code 1
My only assumption is its somehow related to my bridging-headers but Xcode isn't giving me enough information to figure out if this is actually true.
I'm using Cocoapods to add the CorePlot to my project. I'm trying to migrate the following class to Swift:
Obj-C Class (ScatterPlotContainer.h)
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#class CPTScatterPlot;
#interface ScatterPlotContainer : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, strong) CPTScatterPlot *ahrsAlt;
#property (nonatomic, strong) CPTScatterPlot *calibration;
#property (nonatomic, strong) CPTScatterPlot *coreAlt;
#property (nonatomic, strong) CPTScatterPlot *pitch;
#property (nonatomic, strong) CPTScatterPlot *roll;
#property (nonatomic, strong) CPTScatterPlot *slip;
#end
Obj-c Class (ScatterPlotContainer.m)
#import <CorePlot/CPTScatterPlot.h>
#import "ScatterPlotContainer.h"
#implementation ScatterPlotContainer {
}
#end
Swift Conversion
import Foundation
class ScatterPlotContainer : NSObject {
public var ahrsAlt : CPTScatterPlot;
public var calibration : CPTScatterPlot;
public var coreAlt : CPTScatterPlot;
public var pitch : CPTScatterPlot;
public var roll : CPTScatterPlot;
public var slip : CPTScatterPlot;
}
My bridging headers file
#import <CorePlot/CPTScatterPlot.h>
What I've tried thus far
When I comment out the #import <CorePlot/CPTScatterPlot.h> from the Bridging headers file - I get an error in swift because it doesn't know what CPTScatterPlot is
I've also tried #import <CPTScatterPlot.h> which didn't work either.
Thoughts
So the only thing I can think of is perhaps because I'm using a cocoa pod there is some sort of module name I need to add. The error message really isn't that useful. Does anybody have a suggestion about some blaring error I've made or how to get a more descriptive error message to figure out what is going on?
I did the same all answer says but mine issue was not resolved. I did figured out that issue was related to broken function call.
A function syntax was not wrong but its calling mechanism was wrong.
To check the exact error for this issue check following:
Select issue navigator > Click on error will show logs for error > In that select All Messages tab.
This will show all detail logs for this error.
Scroll down and You got logs like, in my case
So, by reading this I figure out that something wrong with function calling. I browse my code and resolved it, Below was correct and wrong code.
Wrong Way:
var region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(self.mapView.userLocation.coordinate, span)
// It will not shown error here but when you build project compiler shows error.
Right Way:
let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: self.mapView.userLocation.coordinate, span: span)
I run into this last night and nothing above was solving my problem.
I was about to do something very bad at my laptop when I saw, all by pure luck, that ONE (1) file was is text encoding set to UTF-16 ?!?! WTF??
This was the last file I was working on, and probably, one bad cut/paste "import" a strange character into the arena. I did a cut/paste of my code in this file to a bare bone text editor. I deleted the file, recreate it and paste back my code... and voilà! it work.
So do the above, but also check your file encoding! :-)
I had the same error message.
What helped, was to set the optimization level in the swift compiler settings to None.
This is not really a solution for me and I think that's one of the many bugs in the swift compiler.
Another solution for this issues is to check that you don't have 2 or more files with the same file names. It solved the problem for me.
Thank you #Kampai for the advice on going through the error log message. I read through, and some files were missing:
<unknown>:0: error: no such file or directory:
Somehow, some files were removed during a pull from GitHub. The files are in the directory, but not in the Xcode project.
Right click on a folder and click 'Add files to ...' to manually add missing files to Xcode. That fixed the problem for me.
This happened to me several times already, but now I know how to fix it \o/
I was getting the same error for including this code in a didSet block:
didSet {
// Test whether this view is currently visible to the user.
if super.isViewLoaded() && (super.view.window != nil) {
// (build fails even if this block is empty)
}
}
It took a lot of trial/error to hunt this down. Removing super. allowed the build to proceed.
had a horrible time with this bug for over 3 hours by meticulously going from file to file and reverting the changes and seeing if that file had the issue in it. I tried the first answer but didn't give me any answers. Found the issue and it was because I had a non computed property named the same as a computed property of a subclass. I really hope the debugger becomes more robust with handling these sorts of cases in future updates :(
Simply deleting derived data and cleaning helped me
1) Identify the file there the problem is. You can copy and paste the compilation instruction to the console and the last screen will contain the error description. Note the pid number there the problem was identified. Then scroll up and find the pid and related instruction - there will be one file per pid, so you will find the file you have problem it.
2) Look through the file and check all you last changes. If you have git initialized you can use
git diff <file name>
As for #Kampal, I'm still struggling to figure out how much to specify in a function call. For instance, creating a UIColor object sometimes requires that UIColor be specified, and sometimes doesn't.
These both work:
playButton.backgroundColor = .darkGrayColor()
playButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
This yields the exit code 1 error on compilation, without any debugger warning. #time-sucking debug vortex
playButton.setTitleColor(.whiteColor(), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
So I have a new rule: when using a function that takes more than one parameter, be explicit.
Now back to playing swift: AVOID THE VORTEX
Since everyone else has been showing theirs, I'll show mine:
class Foo : UIView {
var pathPosition:Double = 0.0 { didSet {
pathPosition = min(max(0.0, pathPosition), 1.0) // crashes if this line is present
self.pathPosition = min(max(0.0, pathPosition), 1.0) // but not here
}}
}
Incredibly, this does not come up in Playground, but does fail when placed in code in a framework. Although it is legal syntax (used to work, still works in playground), the Swift compiler seems to want pathPosition to be qualified with self.. Note that is (relatively) old code and used to compile, maybe something broke in 6.1.
Edit:
I feel like I am going insane, but it feels like there is a greater complexity problem going on here, where surrounding code can impact this problem. I saw things compile last night, changed some code and settings again today, and it failed on me again. Today, I had to hack in a bunch of really stupid code to get it to work:
var pathPosition:Double = 0.0 { didSet {
// bug: insane!! - have to clobber the value before resetting!
let bugOldValue = pathPosition
self.pathPosition = 1.0 // fails without this nonsensical line!
self.pathPosition = min(max(0.0, bugOldValue), 1.0)
}}
For what it's worth, the actual error message I got, per the helpful instructions above, was:
PHI node has multiple entries for the same basic block with different incoming values!
%14 = phi double [ 1.000000e+00, %10 ], [ %11, %10 ], [ 1.000000e+00, %9 ], [ 0.000000e+00, %9 ], !dbg !4818
label %10
double 1.000000e+00
%11 = phi double [ %7, %entry ], !dbg !4815
LLVM ERROR: Broken function found, compilation aborted!
I'm scared for tomorrow.
I just had this same error, the problem was that I had overridden a method with a non-optional parameter and had made the parameter optional in the override. (the method parameter below)
func logNetworkCallDurationForMethod(method:String, path:String, milliseconds: UInt) {
}
override func logNetworkCallDurationForMethod(method:String?, path:String, milliseconds: UInt) {
}
Ran into this issue today actually. Was the result of a recent pull from git on a project where a file had been deleted, but it didn't update in my local project.
Clicking on the error brought up the location of the "missing" file, went and deleted it's reference in the Project Navigator. Fixed the error, did a clean, and compiled successfully.
This happened to me when trying to reference a method from an inmutable protocol argument(by mistake, I thought the member was a property):
Having an interface as follows:
public protocol NSValidatedUserInterfaceItem {
func tag() -> Int
}
Compilation crash
func validateUserInterfaceItem(anItem: NSValidatedUserInterfaceItem) -> Bool {
print(anItem.tag) // oopsie, tag is a function
return false
}
Compilation success
func validateUserInterfaceItem(anItem: NSValidatedUserInterfaceItem) -> Bool {
print(anItem.tag()) // this is cool for swift
return false
}
This happened to me and after reading the log in issue navigator I found out that I have two swift files with same name. This was creating the issue and I was getting build failed.
I got this error due to a missing file in my project. Added this file again and voila everything worked.
In my case it was wrong method overriding. Base class:
open func send(_ onSuccess: #escaping ((SomeType) -> Void)) -> SomeType { }
Subclass:
open override func send(_ onSuccess: ((SomeType) -> Void)) -> SomeType { }
As you see #escaping is missing. Swift3 converter in XCode8 doesn't consider inheritance relations, moreover, that type mistakes aren't marked as errors.
In My Case it was Simulator bug just uninstall app from simulator and clean project then run project.
I had accidentally dragged symlinks (aliases) to source files into the project instead of the actual files.
I had CoreData generated files twice (and added myself). Check the files are not duplicate.
Unfortunately this error is often caused by a glitch inside Swift's compiler. It is not always easy to find the reason. If cleaning doesn't work, my suggestion is to try to comment the last code you wrote (even the whole file if necessary). Usually commenting the last code you entered would restore the compilation and you'll get more meaningful errors. From there on you have to try to uncomment the code piece by piece until you get to the instruction which caused this error. The Swift compiler is still pretty young and from time to time it reports weird errors. These kind of errors are completely useless, because instead of helping the developers they only confuse them even more. I would suggest Apple to change the compiler to give more detailed information and avoid this annoying error from appearing anymore.
NSString const *kGreenColor = #"#00C34E";
I had above line in my Constant.h file. which was meant for preprocessors only.
Removing that line worked for me.
moving the Bridge file to project level resolve my problem.
In my case I had renamed a file. After committing I found that the file name still hasn't changed in the Xcode project (not sure why), the file was greyed out. Changing the name and committing again did the trick.
So we have to keep an eye out for this error, when making changes to files using source control.
In my case deleted a couple of files directly from SourceTree but their reference was still there in Xcode. Logs show their names. Removed them and error went away.
I have an iOS swift program that compiles and runs fine on Xcode Beta2. When I downloaded beta4, I got a few syntax errors for the new swift language which I corrected. I now get this error:
<unknown>:0: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
<unknown>:0: error: swift frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)
The problem is that it does not tell me where this error is so that I can further troubleshoot it. Where can I type -v in order to "see the invocation" and troubleshoot further? Without this, there is absolute no way to figure out the problem. Thanks in advance.
Here's how I was able to find out what the problem was:
Click on the issue in the issue navigator (⌘ + 4, then click on the line with the red ! at the start)
At the bottom of the file that appears, there should be a line that says something like:
1. While emitting IR SIL function #_TToZFC4Down8Resource12getInstancesfMS0_U__FTSS6paramsGVSs10DictionarySSPSs9AnyObject__9onSuccessGSqFGSaQ__T__7onErrorGSqFT5errorCSo7NSError8responseGSqCSo17NSHTTPURLResponse__T___T_ for 'getInstances' at /path/to/file.swift:112:5
The location where your error occurred is at the end of that line. (In this case, on line 112 of file.swift in getInstances).
I was trying to add the PayPal framework to my iOS Project (Xcode 7.2 and Objective C language). When building it did not throw any error, but when I tried to archive the Project and make the IPA, I was getting that error
unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
Screenshot:
After struggling for a long time, I disabled the Bitcode in Project's Target > Build Settings > Enable Bitcode. Now the project can be archived. Please check the following screenshot.
Can't really give a straight solution on this (although I'm sure it's an Apple bug), but I just came across the exact same error message and happen to solve it. Here's what I did:
In General
Comment out recently changed Swift code (check commits) until the app compiles again
Command-click each called method in the failing line and check if there could be an ambiguity
My Example
In my case (I was using the XMPPFramework written in Objective-C) the failing code looked like this:
for roomMessage: XMPPRoomMessage in self.messages {
let slices = split(roomMessage.nickname(), { $0 == "_" }, allowEmptySlices: false)
}
Once I replaced roomMessage.nickname() with "0_test" the code didn't fail any more. So I command-clicked the method nickname() (twice) and here's what I saw:
My guess was that the Swift 1.1 compiler has problems with figuring out which method to call if the exact type of an object is not clear. So I made the type of roomMessage explicit and got another error which I fixed by removing the braces behind the nickname() method call. This made my app build again. Here's the working code:
for roomMessage: XMPPRoomMessageCoreDataStorageObject in self.messages {
let slices = split(roomMessage.nickname, { $0 == "_" }, allowEmptySlices: false)
}
I hope this helps someone out there to investigate the issue more quickly than I did.
I also had the same problem,
when I cleaned the derived data
Remove all removed derived data from Trash as well.
Stop Xcode, restart it and clean build
It should be fixed now.
In my case this error because I use Class name for variable
var MYClass : MYClass {
get {
return.....
}
}
And this fixes my problem
var myClass : MYClass {
get {
return.....
}
}
My problem was that I tried to mimic static variables with the so-called module approach (the Module design pattern). So, I had something like that (just a simple static reference to an operation queue declared at the level of a swift file):
let globalQueue: NSOperationQueue = {
let queue = NSOperationQueue()
queue.suspended = false
queue.maxConcurrentOperationCount = NSOperationQueueDefaultMaxConcurrentOperationCount
return queue
}()
So, that worked fine in Xcode 6.x.x, but ceased to compile in Xcode 7beta. Just want you guys to be aware of it.
P.S. In general, I managed to find out what was wrong from the logs (see the screenshot attached). Hope this saves you some time.
I got Segmentation fault when I called a protocol function the same protocols extension.
I had a code something in the line with this:
protocol Rotatable {
func rotate() -> Self
}
extension Rotatable {
func rotate(steps: Int) {
for _ 0..<steps { self.rotate() }
}
}
When I later made an object and declared that it would follow the Rotatable protocol I got Segmentation fault 11 and the program crashed.
Ex: this would cause Segmentation fault and crash Xcode
struct SomeStruct : Rotatable {
}
If I however first implemented the function rotate() in SomeStruct and then afterwards declared that it conformed to Rotatable there where no problem.
I had a similar today and tried the steps described here including removing files I had recently modified. Nothing seemed to work. I tried something that had been suggested when SourceKit would crash in Xcode.
I when into the derived data directory and deleted everything. The location is listed under "Preferences -> Locations -> Derived Data" There is an arrow icon right next to the path which opens finder with that directory selected. Select all the directories inside and delete them. Close Xcode and Reopen it. That made the problem disappear for me.
I think that some intermediate file is getting corrupted and the compiler does not know how to handle it.
I get this error because a silly mistake!!
in a class I defined
var url: String!?
:)
So it seems that this description is a multiple & generic error for a lot of reasons!!
This can happen as well if you are porting Objective-C code to Swift and you move an objective C protocol to swift. If you leave off the #objc at the protocol definition and you still have Objective-C code that uses that protocol you can get this error.
The solution in that case is adding #objc to the protocol
protocol MyPortedProtocol {}
changes to
#obcj protocol MyPortedProtocol {}
Also make sure any classes that implement this protocol add #objc to the methods
I did answer in "Swift compiler segmentation fault when building"
I had this error too, and i fixed like this:
check your project and find out which files are using twice and remove one, or delete all and re-add them.
Errors in my xCode
:0: error: filename "AttributedString.swift" used twice: '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/AttributedString.swift' and '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/AttributedString.swift'
:0: note: filenames are used to distinguish private declarations with the same name
:0: error: filename "APIClient.swift" used twice: '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/APIClient.swift' and '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/APIClient.swift'
:0: note: filenames are used to distinguish private declarations with the same name
Command /Applications/Xcode 3.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swiftc failed with exit code 1
For me it's caused by adding the swift files to different targets (today extension in my case).
I forgot to add one #end after #implementation in a .m file that had multiple classes in it. Something like:
#implementation Adjust
#end
#implementation Data //#end For this class was missing
#implementation Create
#end
I got this bug because of line
self.textView.inputAccessoryView = self.toolbarItems;
If you delete it the error will gone.
My steps:
1)
Deleted Derived data
Cleared build folder Didn't help
Copied class files to another folder as backup and commented everything in this class. Error gone.
Commented code blocks one by one until
build was success.
For me the problem was mixing Generics, Extensions, and #objc.
It turns out Xcode doesn't like having #objc inside extensions of generic classes:
class FaultyClass<T: TypeValidator>: UIControl where T.ItemType == String {
}
extension FaultyClass: UITextFieldDelegate {
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
}
}
The above code gives the error #objc is not supported within extensions of generic classes. So I moved the method to the class itself but didn't delete the empty extension. This got rid of the error but when I compiled the project I got the segmentation fault.
The solution was to move UITextFieldDelegate to the class declaration.
class GoodClass: <T: TypeValidator>: UIControl, UITextFieldDelegate where T.ItemType == String {
// MARK: - TextFieldDelegate
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
}
}
My problem was in methods signatures:
func setCategory(categoryId: Int?, subcategoryId: Int?) -> FilterSettings {
func changeCategory(categoryId: Int?, subcategoryId: Int?, handler: #escaping (Int) -> ()) {
I don't get why compiler cannot handle such declarations.
In my case it was because of an inappropriate inout in the function parameters. So I suggest you to look for that as well.
For me it was something similar to what #LuisCien described in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/42803582/4075379
I didn't have any generics or #objc tags, but it was these lines of code that were causing the segmentation fault:
public extension CGFloat {
/// Whether this number is between `other - tolerance` and `other + tolerance`
func isEqual(to other: CGFloat, tolerance: CGFloat) -> Bool {
return (other - tolerance...other + tolerance).contains(self)
}
}
i.e. an extension on a primarily Objective-C primary type?
Very luckily, I was able to delete those lines because the project wasn't using anymore. That fixed the issue.
Dumb mistake. I referred to self in a Class method:
public class func FunctionName() -> UIImage {
let bundle = Bundle.init(for: type(of: self))
...
}
I run into this problem when building some legacy code whaich was not adapted for latest Swift versions.
Segmentation fault: 11

Swift 5 Very Easy And Smooth Solution
1- Just check your last added Extension / Code / Folder File before then this issue occur
2- Just Commit the code or save that code
3- Clean and Build & DONE :-)
Happy Coding
I ran into a similar problem when switching from beta2 to beta4.
Clean
then
Build
