avoid_types_as_parameter_names

The parameter name '{0}' matches a visible type name.

The type parameter name '{0}' matches a visible type name.

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the name of a parameter in a parameter list is the same as a visible type (a type whose name is in scope).

This often indicates that the intended name of the parameter is missing, causing the name of the type to be used as the name of the parameter rather than the type of the parameter. Even when that's not the case (the name of the parameter is intentional), the name of the parameter will shadow the existing type, which can lead to bugs that are difficult to diagnose.

The analyzer also produces this diagnostic when the name of a type parameter in a type parameter list is the same as a type whose name is in scope. It is again recommended that the type parameter is renamed such that the error-prone shadowing is avoided.

The following code produces this diagnostic because the function f has a parameter named int, which shadows the type int from dart:core:

void f(int) {}

If the parameter name is missing, then add a name for the parameter:

void f(int x) {}

If the parameter is intended to have an implicit type of dynamic, then rename the parameter so that it doesn't shadow the name of any visible type:

void f(int_) {}
