调研方向

Start with tools/osx64/preload_tracer and reproduce the failure using the provided codeql database create command on the SwiftData project. Compare how traced swift-frontend launches swift-plugin-server, using the reported arm64-only binaries and relocator output as evidence. Done means the traced Xcode build succeeds and creates the CodeQL database without the Bad CPU type error.

描述

bug

Description

Creating a Swift database for an iOS app that uses SwiftData macros (@Model, #Predicate) fails on an Apple Silicon Mac with Xcode 27. swift-frontend runs under the tracer, but it cannot launch the macro plugin host, so every macro expansion fails and the build stops.

Environment

  • CodeQL CLI 2.27.1 (Homebrew cask codeql); the tracer runs from tools/osx64/preload_tracer
  • macOS 27.0.1 on Apple M1 Pro
  • Rosetta 2 installed
  • Xcode 27.0 (27A266a), iOS 27 SDK
  • lipo -archs reports arm64 only for both of these:
    • /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/swift-plugin-server
    • /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift-frontend

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use an iOS project containing any SwiftData @Model class.
  2. Put the build in a script, build.sh: 
    #!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
xcodebuild -project App.xcodeproj -scheme App -destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' -derivedDataPath /tmp/dd-codeql CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO clean build
  3. Run: 
    codeql database create /tmp/db --language=swift --overwrite --command=./build.sh

Expected behaviour

The database is created. Running ./build.sh without CodeQL ends in ** BUILD SUCCEEDED **.

Actual behaviour

The build fails with exit code 65. Every file using a SwiftData macro reports:

error: external macro implementation type 'SwiftDataMacros.PersistentModelMacro' could not be found for macro 'Model()'; compiler plugin '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/swift-plugin-server' could not be loaded: Bad CPU type in executable

Related observations

  1. Without the macro plugin, the tracer copes with the arm64-only toolchain. A probe with --command="xcodebuild -version" runs xcodebuild and prints Xcode 27.0 / Build version 27A266a, and the plain build of the same project (without CodeQL) succeeds. So the failure seems specific to how the traced swift-frontend launches swift-plugin-server.
  2. During the traced build, the relocator makes patched .slice.arm64 copies of xcodebuild, SWBBuildService, actool, ibtoold and ld. Each one logs an install_name_tool header-padding error and then falls back to a short symlink, after which tracing continues normally. I include this in case it's related: 
    error: .../install_name_tool: changing install names or rpaths can't be redone for: .../xcodebuild.semmle.<id>.slice.arm64 (for architecture arm64) because larger updated load commands do not fit (the program must be relinked, and you may need to use -headerpad or -headerpad_max_install_names)
relocator: resorting to replacing "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin" with short symlink "/tmp/<random>"
