Linker _sometimes_ fails at the first `swift build` but succeeds after several trials in a certain repository.

Is it reproducible with SwiftPM command-line tools: swift build, swift test, swift package etc?

  • Confirmed reproduction steps with SwiftPM CLI. The description text must include reproduction steps with either of command-line SwiftPM commands, swift build, swift test, swift package etc.

Description

I don't know the implementation detail of Package Manager, but it seems to build 'libFoo-tool.dylib' and then emits 'libFoo.dylib' during swift build.
However, under some conditions (which I'm not sure), swift build instructs the linker to link 'libFoo.dylib' before it is emitted.

Expected behavior

swift build always succeeds.

Actual behavior

error: link command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
ld: library 'Foo' not found

Steps to reproduce

(Sorry, but I couldn't reduce the problem. These steps use my repository as is.)

  1. cd $(mktemp -d)
  2. git clone https://github.com/YOCKOW/SwiftPQ.git
  3. cd SwiftPQ/
  4. git checkout 8bda04dd47316a52fb7c0a127e0db3091d2bd38f
  5. swift build

Result (nondeterministic)

error: link command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
ld: library 'SwiftUnicodeSupplement' not found

or

error: link command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
ld: library 'SwiftNetworkGear' not found

or

Build complete!
