Imminent namespace conflict

Question

Consider:

• A Swift structure called FrameworkAthat defines the type Thing.
• A Swift structure called FrameworkB, which also defines type Thingand type FrameworkA.
• An application that imports both structures in a single Swift file.

How to reference FrameworkA.Thingin the specified file? The next line does not work with Thing is not a member of FrameworkA.

let t : FrameworkA.Thing? = nil

Answer 1

This seems to be a Swift bug. As a workaround, you can create a new Swift file in the application, which only imports FrameworkAand defines typealiasfor Thing:

import FrameworkA

typealias ThingA = Thing

, , ThingA FrameworkA.Thing.
