QuantLib 1.6 framework (libc++) for iOS and Mac OS X

QuantLib 1.6 framework (compile with -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++) and prefix pre-built binary.
Architectures in the fat file: framework/ql.framework/ql are: armv7 i386 x86_64 arm64

Pre-built framework and libraries prefix for QuantLib 1.6 can be downloaded from here.

Below is the bash script (modified from http://github.com/philipbarnes/quantlib-on-iOS) to build the framework (compile with -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++).
Requires Boost 1.58.0 pre-built binary which can be downloaded from here.

Static and Dynamic link for Swift Compiler

Swift compiler can be used to compile command line tool under Mac OSX. This is an example and how-to use swift compile and use the compiled module as immediate mode under Mac
http://github.com/practicalswift/Pythonic.swift
The above link has instruction to create the dynamic library libPythonic.dylib

After that, here is how to create the additional static library in swift compiler under Mac

Makefile    Select all

cd Pythonic.swift/src/
xcrun -sdk macosx swiftc -parse-as-library -module-name Pythonic -c Pythonic.swift Pythonic.*.swift
ar rvs libPythonic_static.a Pythonic*.o


And this is how to compile as command line tool and link against the static library as below

compile    Select all

mkdir -p my-pythonic-app cd my-pythonic-app/ cp ../Pythonic.swiftdoc ../Pythonic.swiftmodule ../libPythonic_static.a ../libPythonic.dylib . cat << EOF > my_pythonic_app.swift #!/usr/bin/env xcrun swift -I . import Pythonic assert(" hello ".strip() == "hello") println("This feels really.. Pythonic!") EOF xcrun swiftc -I. -L. -lPythonic_static -sdk $(xcrun --show-sdk-path --sdk macosx) my_pythonic_app.swift -o myapp1 ./myapp1

Note: If there is error __swift_FORCE_LOAD_$_swiftFoundation in linking static library try adding -Xlinker -all_load

To compile as command line tool by linking the dynamic library, use this Terminal command (please make sure that the dynamic library file libPythonic.dylib is copied to the current folder).
xcrun swiftc -I. -L. -module-link-name Pythonic -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker "." -sdk $(xcrun --show-sdk-path --sdk macosx) my_pythonic_app.swift -o myapp2

Then compare the file size of myapp1 and myapp2 in order to verify the difference in linking methods.

strong, weak and unowned references in Swift

Both weak and unowned references do not create a strong hold on the referred object (a.k.a. they don't increase the retain count in order to prevent ARC from deallocating the referred object). But why two keywords? This distinction has to do with the fact that Optional types are built-in the Swift language.

A weak reference allows the possibility of it to become nil (this happens automatically when the referenced object is deallocated), therefore the type of your property must be optional - so you, as a programmer, are obligated to check it before you use it (basically the compiler forces you, as much as it can, to write safe code).

An unowned reference presumes that it will never become nil during it's lifetime. A unowned reference must be set during initialization - this means that the reference will be defined as a non-optional type that can be used safely without checks. If somehow the object being referred is deallocated, then the app will crash when the unowned reference will be used.

Optionals in Swift

Swift is designed for safety. As Apple mentioned, optionals are an example of the fact that Swift is a type safe language. Swift’s optionals provide compile-time check that would prevent some common programming errors happened at run-time. Optionals are safer and more expressive than nil pointers in Objective-C and are at the heart of many of Swift's most powerful features.
