Anyway to have cinterop change the name of a function when building? I'm bringing in OCHamcrest and cinterop fails with

common/build/classes/kotlin/ios/main/common-cinterop-ochamcrest.klib-build/kotlin/org/ochamcrest/ochamcrest.kt:127:5: error: expecting function name or receiver type
fun is(value: Any?): Any {
    ^

The problem is the name of the function is a Kotlin keyword, is. I verified that manually changing the name in the objc header allowed cinterop to build.

AFAIK there is no special option to rename a declaration (@svyatoslav.scherbina correct me if it is not the case) but it seems that you can workaround this issue in the following way:
1. Exclude this function in a def-file (see https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/INTEROP.md#definition-file-hints).
2. Manually add a wrapper for this function in the def-file: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/INTEROP.md#adding-custom-declarations

Maybe cinterop can add backquote to solve this problem.

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

It usually does.

K thanks. @ilya.matveev excluding that function worked for my use case.

Fix for this issue has been added to master branch, and is likely to be added to the next release.
