Wes Henderson updated THRIFT-3029:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Using a thrift file such as:
{code:title=foo.thrift|borderStyle=solid}
struct Foo {
  1: required i32 Bar;
  2: required i32 baz;
}
{code}
The generated Objective-C object, "baz" will have working getters but "Bar" 
will not. For example, after setting bar to 5 and baz to 9, I get the following 
output depending on the syntax:
{code}
[foo bar] => 0
[foo Bar] (private method invoked by performSelector) => 5
foo.bar => 0
foo.Bar => 0
foo.baz => 9
{code}

The problem is that the generated header specifies a lowercase getter:
{code:}
@property (nonatomic, getter=bar, setter=setBar:) int32_t Bar;
{code}
Whereas the .m file uses uppercase:
{code}
- (int32_t) Bar {
  return __Bar;
}
{code}

When the Objective-C compiler sees that there is no lowercase getter 
implementation provided, it automatically generates one (this is supposed to be 
a convenience of the @property syntax). So effectively, two getters are 
defined: a lowercase one that does not work, and an uppercase one that does 
work but is private.

As a workaround one can define all their fields beginning with a lowercase 
letter, if possible.
