对苹果“五仁”编程语言Swift的简单分析

在CSDN上看到的文章。转给大家。

苹果在昨天的WWDC上，发布了新的编程语言Swift。这两天开发社区都在讨论这个语言，从语言的特性上大家发现了好多语言的影子，这样的情况可以说是集大成，也可以说是“五仁”。每个人看问题的角度都不同，下面从个人的角度来看看这门语言涉及到的工具链及其对越狱开发的影响。

由于刚刚发布，针对相关工具的介绍几乎没有，那我们就从xcode中寻找。在shell中执行：

find /Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/ -name "*swift*" 

可以找到swift相关的文件，简单过滤后，如下的文件比较重要：

/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift
/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift-demangle
/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift-ide-test
/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift-stdlib-tool
/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Versions/A/Resources/repl_swift
/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents//Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/share/man/man1/swift.1

从找到的文件中我们可以看到包含 man 手册文件，我们首先看看手册的内容：

swift(1)                                   Swift Documentation                                  swift(1)

NAME
       swift - <strong>the amazingly new programming language</strong>

SYNOPSIS
       swift [-emit-object|-emit-assembly|-emit-library|-i]
         [-help]
         -o output-file
         input-filenames

       The full list of supported options is available via "swift -help".

DESCRIPTION
       Swift is a new, high performance systems programming language.  It has a clean and modern syntax,
       and offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code and frameworks, and is memory safe
       (by default).

       Although inspired by Objective-C and many other languages, Swift is not itself a C-derived
       language. As a complete and independent language, Swift packages core features like flow control,
       data structures, and functions, with high-level constructs like objects, protocols, closures, and
       generics.  Swift embraces modules, eliminating the need for headers and the code duplication they
       entail.

参数还是太多，继续精简，把去掉绝对路径：

swift 	-target armv7-apple-ios5.0
		-module-name FuckSwift
		-O0
		-sdk iPhoneOS8.0.sdk
		-g
		-module-cache-path ModuleCache
		-I Debug-iphoneos 
		-F Debug-iphoneos 
		-parse-as-library 
		-c 
		-j8

		-Xcc -Iarmv7 
		-Xcc -IDerivedSources 
		-Xcc -DDEBUG=1 
		<strong>-emit-objc-header 
		-emit-objc-header-path FuckSwift-Swift.h</strong>

这样就相对清晰了。这里面的参数大家可以对照上述的帮助查看，这里我们一起看两点：

1、Xcc <arg>：Pass <arg> to the C/C++/Objective-C compiler，这里我们可以得到：swift代码很可能最终被转变成C/C++/Objective-C代码进行静态编译。

2、会生成FuckSwift-Swift.h头文件，对比下这个文件与swift文件。

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    var window: UIWindow?
    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: NSDictionary?) -> Bool {
        self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
        self.window!.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        self.window!.makeKeyAndVisible()
        return true
    }
    func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication) {
    }
    func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
    }
    func applicationWillEnterForeground(application: UIApplication) {
    }
    func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
    }
    func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {
    }
}

SWIFT_CLASS("_TtC9FuckSwift11AppDelegate")
@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
@property (nonatomic) UIWindow * window;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions;
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application;
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application;
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application;
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application;
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application;
- (instancetype)init OBJC_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER;
@end

可以看到swift程序是被转换了的，但是是不是转换成了Objective-C程序呢？还需要进一步分析。

打开IDA，加载测试程序的MachO：

我们重点看下函数窗口：

从函数名上我们可以得到如下结论：

1、可以看到函数名被“改编”了。

2、swift代码并不是被简单得编译成了ObjC代码

3、swift代码最终被编译成了纯C代码，相对于ObjC来说省去了运行时查表进行函数调用的开销，执行效率应该比ObjC要高。

4、从文档上看swfit相对于ObjC来说是更加动态的语言，开发效率也应该比ObjC高

5、对于越狱开发来说，我们只要像Hook C函数那样来Hook swift 函数就可以了，因此MobileSubstrate还是可以工作的。

6、生成的代码还是要遵循 ARM 的ABI标准

 

就像C++的名称改编一样，改编后的名称虽然可以手工还原但是太麻烦，最好找到工具来做这一件事。前文，我们在查找swift相关的文件时看到一个工具：swift-demangle，下面我们就用它来demangle改编后的名称，看看可以得到什么。

首先，我们切换命令行到xcode6的命令行工具：

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer

然后，我们看看swift-demangle的命令行参数：

USAGE: swift-demangle [options] [mangled name...]

OPTIONS:
  -compact   - Compact mode (only emit the demangled names)
  -expand    - Expand mode (show node structure of the demangling)
  -help      - Display available options (-help-hidden for more)
  -no-sugar  - No sugar mode (disable common language idioms such as ? and [] from the output)
  -tree-only - Tree-only mode (do not show the demangled string)
  -version   - Display the version of this program

从IDA中复制一个函数名，如：

__TToFC9FuckSwift11AppDelegate26applicationDidBecomeActivefS0_FCSo13UIApplicationT_

我们执行如下命令：

xcrun swift-demangle "__TToFC9FuckSwift11AppDelegate26applicationDidBecomeActivefS0_FCSo13UIApplicationT_"

得到输出：

_TToFC9FuckSwift11AppDelegate26applicationDidBecomeActivefS0_FCSo13UIApplicationT_ ---> @objc FuckSwift.AppDelegate.applicationDidBecomeActive (FuckSwift.AppDelegate)(ObjectiveC.UIApplication) -> ()

可以看到函数被还原。

到这里我们停下，看看swift对越狱开发的影响：

1、目前无法使用class-dump得到ObjC的头文件。

2、MobileSubstrate应该还可以正常工作。

3、可以使用demangle工具还原函数名，后期这部分工作IDA可能会自动支持。

总之，对越狱开发的流程会稍微有影响，针对应用的越狱开发还可以存在。

下面我们看看命令行工具swift-ide-test的参数：

从参数上看，这很可能是xcode的内部工具，用来做代码完成与检查的。这里不具体分析，感兴趣的兄弟可以自己试试。

 

下面我们继续回到 swift 工具上，首先看看parse的输出，执行如下命令：

xcrun swift AppDelegate.swift -dump-parse

得到如下输出：

由于不了解编译器相关的知识，无法解析上述输出，但是看起来很像common lisp 的“点对”数据结构。

另外，我们会注意到另一个比较重要的命令行参数：-repl，我们一起玩玩，看看这个工具能力怎么样。

在命令行执行如下命令：

xcrun swift -repl

可以得到一个脚本解析器的执行环境：

我们参考“The Swift Programming Language”写一个Hello World，看看效果：

1、swift既可以被编译执行，也可以被解析执行，是真正的动态语言。

2、大家可以用这个工具来学习语言特性。

 

就分析到这里，希望对大家有帮助。
