How is the relation between UIView’s clipsToBounds and CALayer’s masksToBounds?

by

They are different names because UIView and CALayer are different and have different terminology associated with them, but they are functionally equivalent. If you disassemble clipsToBounds you will see it just calls masksToBounds (disassembly from the simulator framework, so x86):

-(BOOL)[UIView(Rendering) clipsToBounds]
    +0  3091938a  55              pushl    %ebp
    +1  3091938b  89e5            movl     %esp,%ebp
    +3  3091938d  e800000000      calll    0x30919392
    +8  30919392  59              popl     %ecx
    +9  30919393  8b4508          movl     0x08(%ebp),%eax
   +12  30919396  8b5004          movl     0x04(%eax),%edx         (CALayer)_layer
   +15  30919399  8b8186cb1301    movl     0x0113cb86(%ecx),%eax    masksToBounds
   +21  3091939f  89450c          movl     %eax,0x0c(%ebp)
   +24  309193a2  895508          movl     %edx,0x08(%ebp)
   +27  309193a5  c9              leave
