[swift-users] Selector Inference with Protocols

[Sebastian Hagedorn]

Just wanted to follow up as I’ve stumbled over a new bug related to this. It seems that the inferred selectors are mostly correct, unless the protocol conformance is declared in a superclass (it may have to do with a separate file, too). I’ve filed this as rdar://27348369.

Thanks for looking into it!

Sebastian

I’ve also tried several variants with regard to capitalization and truncation of parameter names, but cannot get this to compile. Is this a known/temporary issue in the current snapshot, or should I file a bug report?
>>> 
>>> Note the error message carefully: the method you implemented has the right name in Swift, but "does not match the requirement's selector". You can manually control the selector using the 'objc' attribute, i.e. `@objc(URLSession:downloadTask:didFinishDownloadingToURL:)`.
