             Summary: Getters for fields defined with uppercase names do not work
                 Key: THRIFT-3029
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3029
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Cocoa - Compiler
    Affects Versions: 0.9.2
            Reporter: Wes Henderson
            Priority: Critical


Using a thrift file such as:
struct Foo {
  1: required i32 Bar;
  2: required i32 baz;
}
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:
[foo bar] => 0
[foo Bar] (private method invoked by performSelector) => 5
foo.bar => 0
foo.Bar => 0
foo.baz => 9

The problem is that the generated header specifies a lowercase getter:
@property (nonatomic, getter=bar, setter=setBar:) int32_t Bar;

Whereas the .m file uses uppercase:
- (int32_t) Bar {
  return __Bar;
}

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.
