importing them
Because going through the import for every code completion request is slow,
Clang code completion results are cached in the CodeCompletionContext. The
cache needs to be invalidated whenever a new Clang module is loaded. In order
to implement this, ModuleLoadListener class was added.

This causes the SourceLoader to recursively parse the imported module in standard
library mode, giving it access to the Builtin module.
This is all a terrible hack and should be ripped out with great victory someday, but
until we have binary modules that persist the build setting used to produce the
module, this is the best we can do.

This replaces the obscure, inefficient lookup into extensions with
something more straightforward: walk all of the known extensions
(available as a simple list), then eliminate any declarations that
have been shadowed by other declarations. The shadowing rules still
need to consider the module re-export DAG, but we'll leave that for
later.
As part of this, keep track of the last time we loaded extensions for
a given nominal type. If the list of extensions is out-of-date with
respect to the global generation count (which tracks resolved module
imports), ask the modules to load any additional extensions. Only the
Clang module importer can currently load extensions in this manner.

Integrating Clang's FindVisibleDecls with Swift's by importing every decl created too much per-repl-entry compile time overhead, so as a workaround, just wire completions directly to FindVisibleDecls on the clang translation unit itself. Unfortunately this means we get completions for things Swift can't import yet, but it also means we don't have to wait 30 seconds to compile every entry after doing a completion.

This allows us to add additional module import paths besides those provided
in the sysroot. This is necessary for the demo (so we can import our custom
ScriptingBridge header file) and will probably be needed in some form in the
long run to support mixed Swift/Objective-C projects.
Swift SVN r3721
This importer handles all of the Clang structural types, e.g., builtin
types (int, float, void), function types, block pointer types, and
C pointer types. It does not yet handle nominal types such as enums,
structs, or Objective-C classes, and there are some questions about
(e.g.) array types.
Swift SVN r3212
From a user's perspective, one imports Clang modules using the normal
Swift syntax for module imports, e.g.,
import Cocoa
However, to enable importing Clang modules, one needs to point Swift
at a particular SDK with the -sdk= argument, e.g.,
swift -sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9M.sdk
and, of course, that SDK needs to provide support for modules.
There are a number of moving parts here. The major pieces are:
CMake support for linking Clang into Swift: CMake users will now need
to set the SWIFT_PATH_TO_CLANG_SOURCE and SWIFT_PATH_TO_CLANG_BUILD
to the locations of the Clang source tree (which defaults to
tools/clang under your LLVM source tree) and the Clang build tree.
Makefile support for linking Clang into Swift: Makefile users will
need to have Clang located in tools/clang and Swift located in
tools/swift, and builds should just work.
Module loader abstraction: similar to Clang's module loader,
a module loader is responsible for resolving a module name to an
actual module, loading that module in the process. It will also be
responsible for performing name lookup into that module.
Clang importer: the only implementation of the module loader
abstraction, the importer creates a Clang compiler instance capable of
building and loading Clang modules. The approach we take here is to
parse a dummy .m file in Objective-C ARC mode with modules enabled,
but never tear down that compilation unit. Then, when we get a request
to import a Clang module, we turn that into a module-load request to
Clang's module loader, which will build an appropriate module
on-the-fly or used a cached module file.
Note that name lookup into Clang modules is not yet
implemented. That's the next major step.
