Move Semantics is an extremally important concept for one to understand talking about programming in c++. It is a fundamental aspect of the language that may not be that obvious and even more for one coming from another language such as Swift, C#, or Java. Understanding the various aspects of…
SE-0229 introduced SIMD types into the Swift Programming language in swift 5. So in today’s post, we will explore the concept of SIMD vector operations, why it is useful, and what performance gains we can achieve by using SIMD when available on the hardware.
Implemented in Swift 4, key paths or smart key paths as it was called in the initial proposal SE-0161, is a feature that allows us to represent references to type properties in a concrete type-safe way and then access those properties dynamically in an instance of a base type.
It…
In modern software development, we are having faster iterations, continuous integration, continuous deployment and even daily builds being deployed into production, automated testing has become essential to our project’s workflow in the sense that it makes all this possible by being a validation step which can give us a certain…
In today’s post, we are going to explore what Kotlin Coroutines are and how they work. This is going to be a high-level overview, so if you want more detail, check out the reference section videos and articles.
Definition
A coroutine is a function that has one or more suspension points…
SwiftSyntax is a library that provides a Swift abstraction on top of the libSyntax, exposing a set of APIs that makes possible to do things like visiting, rewriting and retrieve information from the syntactic structure of a swift source. …
In today’s post, we are going to talk about the Swift compiler Generic specialization and do a basic overview on what it is and why the SIL Optimizer perform this in order to have a more performant code. …
In today’s article, we are going to talk about a very common issue that we as iOS developers sometimes have to deal with in our development workflow. …
In todays article we are going to explore some sorting functions. Those are very common functions that we as developers use in almost all our daily tasks. We will explore some functions like std::sort, std::stable_sort and std::partial_sort of the clang libc++. Also, we are going to take a look on…
In this article, we are going to explore a very simple, but very interesting and useful feature of Swift called Autoclosures. If you are not familiar with the concept, the first couple of questions will probably be: What that is? And what makes it different than the “normal” closures?
