  • SR-138 Foundation objects are not bridged on Linux as they are on OS X.

Issue Description:

The following code compiles on Mac but produces an error on Linux:

import Foundation

let string: String = "str"
let nsString = string as NSString

The compiler output is:

$ swiftc CoerceToNSString.swift 
CoerceToNSString.swift:4:16: error: cannot convert value of type 'String' to type 'NSString' in coercion
let nsString = string as NSString
               ^~~~~~
