Xcode 8.0 Swift 3.0 slow indexing and building

Go to project settings, then Editor > Add Build Setting > Add User-Defined Setting, and add the following:

SWIFT_WHOLE_MODULE_OPTIMIZATION = YES

Adding this flag dropped our clean-build compile times from 7 mins to 65s for a 40KLOC swift project, miraculously. Also can confirm 2 friends have seen similar improvements on enterprise projects.

I can only assume this is some kind of bug in Xcode 8.0

I solved the problem by commenting all files and then removing comments one by one. I found that the problem is still in the array declaration as described here.

I had code like this and project was not indexing:

class {
    var first: String!
    var second: String!
    var third: String!
    var fourth: String!
    var fifth: String!

    func abc() -> [String] {
        var array = [first, second, third, fourth, fifth]
    }
}

I've changed it to this and indexing started working:

class {
    var first: String!
    var second: String!
    var third: String!
    var fourth: String!
    var fifth: String!

    func abc() -> [String] {
        var array = [first]

        array.append(second)
        array.append(third)
        array.append(fourth)
        array.append(fifth)
    }
}
