+readability-inconsistent-declaration-parameter-name
+===================================================
+
+
+Find function declarations which differ in parameter names.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code:: c++
+
+  // in foo.hpp:
+  void foo(int a, int b, int c);
+
+  // in foo.cpp:
+  void foo(int d, int e, int f); // warning
+
+This check should help to enforce consistency in large projects, where it often
+happens that a definition of function is refactored, changing the parameter
+names, but its declaration in header file is not updated. With this check, we
+can easily find and correct such inconsistencies, keeping declaration and
+definition always in sync.
+
+Unnamed parameters are allowed and are not taken into account when comparing
+function declarations, for example:
+
+.. code:: c++
+
+   void foo(int a);
+   void foo(int); // no warning
+
+If there are multiple declarations of same function, only one warning will be
+generated.
