It would be cool if a multiplatform projects can somehow reflect a platform's naming conventions.
E.g. having a property named websiteUrl in Kotlin and websiteURL in ObjC/Swift 🙂

[Dominaezzz]

The can!

[Dominaezzz]

With attributes like @JvmName.

[Marc Knaup]

That would change the name for Java, not for Kotlin.

[Marc Knaup]

And about JS? Or different native targets? 🙂

[Dominaezzz]

They have theirs but I don't remember what they're called.

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

There definitely are CName and JsName, just dig deeper to the Reference(https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/index.html). Not sure it has the same for ObjC, because of the prefix thing. But I suppose you are talking about importing ObjC things and making them prettier by default, don’t you?

[Marc Knaup]

@CName seems to be for a different purpose though:

Makes top level function available from C/C++ code with the given name.

Even though it's documented I cannot actually use it in my code. It doesn't exist 😮

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Did you import something like a kotlin.native.CName? In example here https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/tree/master/backend.native/tests/produce_dynamic/simple it looks like this should help.
And yes, I might be misleading with it’s purpose, but I’m not sure what kind of name-changing you want to achieve.

[Marc Knaup]

It's probably not available because I'm in am multiplatform project with iOS target and not in a purely native Kotlin project.
Also, I need to declare the name in common code, not in platform code.

[russhwolf]

You can try declaring @OptionalExpectation annotation class CName in your common code and actual typealias CName = kotlin.native.CName in your native. I haven't tried CName on iOS though so I don't know if there's something different for ObjC.

[Marc Knaup]

True, thanks.
CName is for C exports 🙂 iOS code is ObjC which is very different and Swift will be even more different.

[russhwolf]

Yeah. I have no idea if it works or not but since https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-28801 is closed and the only thing that exists is @CName and not a separate @ObjCName, I figure maybe it's worth a try. Definitely nothing Swift-specific exists right now though because Kotlin only interops with Obj-C

[Marc Knaup]

As I said, I have no CName in my project. Neither in common code, nor in platform code 😕

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

CName doesn’t affect produced Objective-C/Swift API.
ObjCName/SwiftName is not available yet.

[russhwolf]

Is there a ticket to track when that will be available?
