✨ Swift should provide support for internal imports and resilience for all platforms (that can be enabled in SwiftPM) to allow Swift modules to depend on C++ modules without requiring that the clients enable C++ interoperability #66156
Right now, a Swift target that enables C++ interoperability in SwiftPM requires its dependencies to enable C++ interoperability as well.
We can fix it when Swift supports the following:
internal imports
resilience for all platforms (that can be enabled in SwiftPM)
This will allow a Swift target to import C++ clang modules using internal qualifier and will allow it to enable resilience. This will ensure that the dependencies that want to use such Swift target do not have to enable C++ interoperability unless they desire to do so.
This issue tracks the support for both features in Swift. Once both features are supported we can start supporting this C++ interoperability use case as well.
