LongestCocoa
Programmers who write Objective-C must REALLY love its descriptive and verbose naming style.
SoWhatAreTheLongestMethodOrConstantNamesInCocoaFramework? Here are some superb ones:
- outputImageProviderFromBufferWithPixelFormat:pixelsWide:pixelsHigh:baseAddress:bytesPerRow:releaseCallback:releaseContext:colorSpace:shouldColorMatch:
- kCMSampleBufferConduitNotificationParameter_UpcomingOutputPTSRangeMayOverlapQueuedOutputPTSRange
