node with that identifier - Pull request: #2594
- Description: Given a
-
SyntaxIdentifier.IndexInTree
- Description: Uniquely identifies a syntax node within a tree. This is similar to
SyntaxIdentifier
but does not store the root ID of the tree. It can thus be transferred across trees that are structurally equivalent, for example two copies of the same tree that live in different processes. The only public functions on this type aretoOpaque
andinit(fromOpaque:)
, which allow serialization of theIndexInTree
. - Pull request: #2594

SwiftSyntaxMacrosGenericTestSupport
- Description: A version of the
SwiftSyntaxMacrosTestSupport
module that doesn't depend onFoundation
orXCTest
and can thus be used to write macro tests usingswift-testing
. Since swift-syntax can't depend on swift-testing (which would incur a circular dependency since swift-testing depends on swift-syntax), users need to manually specify a failure handler like the following, that fails the swift-testing test:Issue.record("\($0.message)", fileID: $0.location.fileID, filePath: $0.location.filePath, line: $0.location.line, column: $0.location.column)

is
,as
, andcast
methods for types not contained in the choice node are marked as deprecated. The deprecated methods will emit a warning, indicating that the cast will always fail. - Issue: #2092
- Pull Request: #2184
- Migration steps: Remove the
is
,as
orcast
methods because they will always fail.
- Description:

MacroExpansion{Error|Warning|FixIt}Message
moved to theSwiftSyntaxMacros
module- Description: Move the
MacroExpansion{Error|Warning|FixIt}Message
types from theSwiftSyntaxMacroExpansion
module toSwiftSyntaxMacros
. Deprecated typealiases inSwiftSyntaxMacroExpansion
forward toSwiftSyntaxMacros
. - Pull request: #2338
- Notes: The expansion diagnostic messages were defined in
SwiftSyntaxMacroExpansion
, which is intended as an implementation detail of the plugin server and should not need to be imported by macros.
- Description: Move the

EditorPlaceholderDeclSyntax
andEditorPlaceholderExprSyntax
:- Description:
EditorPlaceholderDeclSyntax
andEditorPlaceholderExprSyntax
are now deprecated and placeholders are instead parsed as identifiers within aMissingDeclSyntax
orDeclReferenceExprSyntax
. - Pull request: #2237
- Description:
-
AttributedTypeSyntax.specifier
has renamed tospecifiers
and changed to be a collection- Description: Types can have multiple specifiers now and the syntax tree has been modified to reflect that.
- Pull request: #2433
-
CanImportExprSyntax
andCanImportVersionInfoSyntax
- Description: Instead of parsing
canImport
inside#if
directives as a special expression node, parse it as a functionc call expression. This is in-line with how theswift(>=6.0)
andcompiler(>=6.0)
directives are parsed. - Pull request: #2025
- Description: Instead of parsing
API-Incompatible Changes
-
MacroDefinition
used for expanding macros:- Description: The
MacroDefinition/expansion
enum case used to have two values ((MacroExpansionExprSyntax, replacements: [Replacement])
), has now gained another value in order to support generic argument replacements in macro expansions:(MacroExpansionExprSyntax, replacements: [Replacement], genericReplacements: [GenericArgumentReplacement])
- Pull request: #2450
- Migration steps: Code which exhaustively checked over the enum should be changed to
case .expansion(let node, let replacements, let genericReplacements):
. Creating the.extension
gained a compatibility shim, retaining the previous syntax source compatible (return .expansion(node, replacements: [])
).
- Description: The
-
Effect specifiers:
- Description: The
unexpectedAfterThrowsSpecifier
node of the various effect specifiers has been removed. - Pull request: #2219
- Migration steps: Check
unexpectedBetweenThrowsSpecifierAndThrownError
andunexpectedAfterThrownError
instead.
- Description: The
-
SyntaxKind
removed conformance toCaseIterable
- Description:
SyntaxKind
no longer conforms toCaseIterable
since there is no good use case to iterate over all syntax kinds. - Pull request: #2292
- Migration steps: Exhaustively check all the syntax nodes that your program supports. There should be no use case to iterate over all cases in
SyntaxKind
.
- Description:
-
IntegerLiteralExprSyntax.Radix
removed conformance toCaseIterable
- Description:
IntegerLiteralExprSyntax.Radix
no longer conforms toCaseIterable
since there is no good use case to iterate over all radix kinds. - Pull request: #2292
- Migration steps: There should be no use case to iterate over all cases in
IntegerLiteralExprSyntax.Radix
.

Parser.parseIncrementally(source:parseTransition:)
andParser.parseIncrementally(source:maximumNestingLevel:parseTransition:)
:- Description: The default versions of
Parser.parseIncrementally
return aIncrementalParseResult
instead of a tuple. Access to the struct should be compatible with the tuple in almost all cases unless the tuple is stored into a variable and then destructed or passed to a function that expects a tuple. - Issue: #2267
- Pull request: #2272
- Migration steps: If necessary, change type annotations from the tuple to the
IncrementalParseResult
type.
- Description: The default versions of
-
SyntaxClassification
gained a new case:argumentLabel
- The new classification case covers the first names of parameters in function-like declarations and the label of arguments in function-like calls.
- Pull request: #2375
- Migration steps: In exhaustive switches over
SyntaxClassification
, cover the new case.
-
SyntaxEnum
andSyntaxKind
gained new cases:throwsClause
- The new cases cover the newly introduced
ThrowsClauseSyntax
- Pull request: #2379
- Migration steps: In exhaustive switches over
SyntaxEnum
andSyntaxKind
, cover the new case.
- The new cases cover the newly introduced
-
MacroExpansionContext
now requires a propertylexicalContext
:- Description: The new property provides the lexical context in which the macro is expanded, and has several paired API changes. Types that conform to
MacroExpansionContext
will need to implement this property. Additionally, theHostToPluginMessage
casesexpandFreestandingMacro
andexpandAttachedMacro
now include an optionallexicalContext
. Finally, theSyntaxProtocol.expand(macros:in:indentationWidth:)
syntactic expansion operation has been deprecated in favor of a new versionexpand(macros:contextGenerator:indentationWidth:)
that takes a function produces a new macro expansion context for each expansion. - Pull request: #1554
- Migration steps: Add the new property
lexicalContext
to anyMacroExpansionContext
-conforming types. If implementing the host-to-plugin message protocol, add support forlexicalContext
. For macro expansion operations going throughSyntaxProtocol.expand
, provide a context generator that creates a fresh context including the lexical context.
- Description: The new property provides the lexical context in which the macro is expanded, and has several paired API changes. Types that conform to
-
TriviaPiece.isBackslash
inSwiftParserDiagnostics
removed- Description:
TriviaPiece.isBackslash
was not intended to be public API. - Pull request: #2531
- Migration steps: Use
if case .backslash = triviaPiece
instead
- Description:
-
All symbols in
SwiftCompilerPluginMessageHandling
are now SPI- Description: This module is only intended to be used from some internal components. Any other modules should not use them directly.
- Pull request: #2489
- Migration steps: Stop using this module.
