Swift 3 UnsafePointer($0) no longer compile in Xcode 8 beta 6

Solution 1:

From the Release Notes of Xcode 8 beta 6:

• An Unsafe[Mutable]RawPointer type has been introduced, replacing Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer<Void>. Conversion from UnsafePointer<T> to UnsafePointer<U> has been disallowed. Unsafe[Mutable]RawPointer provides an API for untyped memory access, and an API for binding memory to a type. Binding memory allows for safe conversion between pointer types. See bindMemory(to:capacity:), assumingMemoryBound(to:), and withMemoryRebound(to:capacity:). (SE-0107)

In your case, you may need to write something like this:

let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress) {
    $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {zeroSockAddress in
        SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, zeroSockAddress)
    }
}

Solution 2:

Replace

let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress) {
  SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, UnsafePointer($0))
}

with

guard let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress, {

        $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {

            SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, $0)

        }

    }) else {

        return false
    }
