Support for array.reduce() in WebAssembly targets (and op_Addition generally)?

Elements Silver

Taking some tentative first steps with Swift and have quickly run into some difficulties/questions. I am attempting some real basic collection code (still learning Swift) and find that this does not compile:

let ints = [1, 2, 3]
let sum = ints.reduce(0, +)

This complains about unknown identifier op_Addition

Changing line #2 to the following compiles and runs as expected with a .net target:

let sum = ints.reduce(0) { $0 + $1 }

However, with a WebAssembly target although I get the same error for the (0, +) incantation, the second form also does not compile, this time complaining No overloaded method reduce(::) with 2 parameters on type Array<Int64>.

I had thought collections were “intrinsics” so am wondering what the state of Silver is w.r.t. the Swift language / runtime specification ? Are these bugs or expected results of design choices made to accommodate cross/multi-platform target considerations in the Elements context ?

I fixed the 'wasm" part of this.

I’ll log a separate issue for the + operator.

For now as a temporary workaround I suggest the anonymous method you had in your original post.

Thanks, logged as bugs://80168

Thanks Carlo. Just to clarify, the anon method approach doesn’t work for wasm so isn’t really a work around. I had to go the long way around:

let ints = [1, 2, 3]
var sumOfInts = 0;  for i in ints { sumOfInts += i }

Bleurgh. :face_vomiting:

I did fix it for webassembly. Will be in Friday’s beta

Aha, cool! Thanks for clarifying. :slight_smile:
