[arm32] Could not construct an expression context for the REPL

[abesmon]

I'm having some issues using precompiled binaries for Raspbian stretch

Running it on:
Linux orangepizero 4.14.65-sunxi #68 SMP Tue Aug 21 19:57:06 CEST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

swift invocation returns:
error: failed to stop process at REPL breakpoint

swift -v invocation returns:

Swift version 4.1.1 (swift-4.1.1-RELEASE)
Target: armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
/usr/bin/lldb "--repl=-disable-objc-interop -color-diagnostics"
error: failed to launch REPL process: process launch failed: 'A' packet returned an error: -1

sudo swift -v returns:

Swift version 4.1.1 (swift-4.1.1-RELEASE)
Target: armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
/usr/bin/lldb "--repl=-disable-objc-interop -color-diagnostics"
error: failed to stop process at REPL breakpoint

However, I managed to compile some swift projects without crashes, but this REPL message worry me. Is it ok to work with it?

Yes, the REPL has never worked on ARM (even in 2.x), but that doesn't impact the behaviour of the compiler.

[abesmon]

Thanks! Will remember that. isn’t it good to notice that thing in Readme? I think it’s not obvious :/

[uraimo]

Yup! It makes a lot of sense, doing it now.

Let's leave this long standing issue open too.

Just for my reference, the issue is still there even on the test version of 5.1.2 that includes clang and libicu.

I commented on SR-5632. See if this command logs anything unexpected:
lldb --repl=-disable-objc-interop --one-line-before-file 'log enable lldb host'
