Swift - External Parameter Name Ignored about vvdocumenter-xcode HOT 4 CLOSED

No, the external name is a part of method name, and the local parameter should be used. You can see the quick help of Apple's API to confirm it, they are using the local name.

Interesting. I can see that you would want to copy the way Apple does things but I can't see why the external documentation of a method would refer to an internal parameter name rather than the external parameter name, given that it is the external name that the user of the method would see. The person calling the method isn't (or shouldn't be) concerned with how the variable is named inside the method.

It looks like Apple are inconsistent in this matter...

As I said, an external param name will be used as the method name. It IS a part of your method name in fact, instead of the param name. The navigation bar is showing the method name while the quick help will show the internal name.

Think about what to show if a func is defined with a _:

func hello(_ firstName: String, _ lastName: String)

There must be something to refer as the documentation, and the method name would be ok as hello(_:. _:)
