[swift-dev] SourceKit limits on Swift refactoring

[肇鑫]

There is a new Swift refactoring plugin
<https://github.com/johnno1962/Refactorator> for Xcode. It is developed
by johnno1962.

Tonight I have a conversation with him on an issue of the refactoring
plugin. The issue <https://github.com/johnno1962/Refactorator/issues/3> is
closed because johnno1962 says the issue is the limit of SourceKit, which
he can do nothing further.

So I bring it here and see if anyone can help.

The example is simple. Supposing we have code like this:

struct Person {
    var name:String

    init(aName:String) {
        self.name = aName
    }
}
func testOnly() {
    let john = Person(aName: "John")

    print(john)
}


​When we do a refactor on aName, in ​let john = Person(aName: "John").
SourceKit only find this line of code and the code line init(aName:String).

It should also find the code line: self.name = aName, which it didn't.

According to johnno1962, SourceKit treats the aName inside the
init(aName:String) as a variable different from the aName in
init(aName:String).
