New AppCode 2016.3 EAP: completion and code analysis performance

Stanislav Dombrovsky

Hi,

This week brings a very important AppCode 2016.3 EAP build, as it contains significant performance improvements in areas essential for writing the Swift code.

Completion performance

We made performance optimizations for Swift completion in pure Swift and mixed Objective-C/Swift projects and re-worked some parts of our completion caching system. It means that completion in Swift projects should become much faster comparing to any previous 2016.3 EAP build.

SourceKit warnings and errors

We fixed an important issue in SourceKit integration which caused significant delays when showing warnings and errors in editor. Now this functionality should work much faster in general (note that there is an issue with some projects when SourceKit warnings and errors are not shown and we are still working on it).

In addition, we added support for precedencegroup keyword including highlighting, completion and formatting and fixed issue with NSLog output on macOS 10.12.1.

As performance improvements mentioned above are quite massive, we encourage you to try this build with your project and share your feedback with us either in comments below or in our tracker.

For the full list of fixes please see the release notes.
