Hello! I would like to take advantage of the

callAsFunction

operator in Swift like the

operator fun invoke

function in Kotlin. I tested its feasibility and by using

@ObjCName("callAsFunction")

I’m able to achieve that behavior. Is there a way to declare an annotation that applies the ObjCName renaming to the annotated function? I thought that this would have worked but it didn’t…

@OptIn(ExperimentalObjCName::class)
@ObjCName("callAsFunction")
annotation class SwiftCallAsFunction

my goal is to avoid to repeat the

"callAsFunction"

string everywhere is needed. I thought about using a constant but I would like to understand if there are other ways thanks!

No it won't work. You need a compiler plugin. But keep it simple.

Maybe it's something that the folks at #touchlab-tools can help?

I’ll try to post it also in that channel, thanks
