[cmake] Skip regex when CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX is empty. In platforms like Windows, there's no prefix for static libraries. Interpolating it in the regex will end up with a regex "^", which seems not to be valid. Since the regex was removing the prefix, we can simply skip the operation and the result will be the same. Also do the same for CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX, even if in that case, Windows will have a value (but if it is empty, it will fail trying to create the regex).
Grand Central Dispatch (GCD or libdispatch) provides comprehensive support for concurrent code execution on multicore hardware.
libdispatch is currently available on all Darwin platforms. This project aims to make a modern version of libdispatch available on all other Swift platforms. To do this, we will implement as much of the portable subset of the API as possible, using the existing open source C implementation.
libdispatch on Darwin is a combination of logic in the xnu
kernel alongside the user-space Library. The kernel has the most information available to balance workload across the entire system. As a first step, however, we believe it is useful to bring up the basic functionality of the library using user-space pthread primitives on Linux. Eventually, a Linux kernel module could be developed to support more informed thread scheduling.
A port of libdispatch to Linux has been completed. On Linux, since Swift 3, swift-corelibs-libdispatch has been included in all Swift releases and is used by other swift-corelibs projects.
Opportunities to contribute and on-going work include:
