Note to self: rewrite to use dlsym instead of @_silgen_name.

@zwaldowski Where's the (half-assed) overlay for os_log? I skimmed through your public gists but don't see anything.

Whoa wait, the system frameworks actually include os_log APIs for Swift? I thought they didn't have that, like they don't have os_activity. That's interesting.

What is the answer fixing these warnings?

@kdawgwilk try this:
let str = buf.baseAddress!.withMemoryRebound(to: Int8.self, capacity: 8, { $0 })

@vgorloff What is OS_os_activity?

@zwaldowski (all), Do you occasionally get blocked by the error 'String' is not convertible to 'StaticString'?

EDIT: This seems to be the Swift compiler behavior, when a Return type is not specified when wrapping a function expecting a return. Makes sense.

Fix:

func applyMainExclusionPath() -> CGRect {
        // would be invoked from within Activity
        
        return Activity("apply main exclusion path").active { () -> CGRect in

I haven't been able to try this out yet, but it looks interesting.
Compared to the native API, the process of entering and leaving scopes is a bit verbose, and when someone forgets to leave it, I imagine it may cause problems.

To avoid the deferred leave boilerplate, would it be possible to define the scope as a class instead and leave the scope on deinit?

public class Scope {

    fileprivate var state = os_activity_scope_state_s()

    deinit {
        os_activity_scope_leave(&state)
    }
}

To avoid the deferred leave boilerplate, would it be possible to define the scope as a class instead and leave the scope on deinit?

public class Scope {

    fileprivate var state = os_activity_scope_state_s()

    deinit {
        os_activity_scope_leave(&state)
    }
}

This approach doesn't work on Swift 5.0. Unfortunately, we still have to dance around the defer { scope.leave() }.

Re: class Scope, Swift ARC deinitialization isn't defined to happen at the end of scope like in C++. It's free to be deallocated (and thus end scope) as soon as you last use it.

@vgorloff Works great even in Swift 5.2/Xcode 11, thanks!

@LinMaris Its just a protocol, same as os_activity_t. The piece works perfectly!

public protocol OS_os_activity : NSObjectProtocol {
}

public typealias os_activity_t = OS_os_activity
