Classification:Bug Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary:
In XCode 6.2 when you override a property's getter or setter method the implicit instance variable generated by the compiler disappears generating a compile error with the message: "Use of undeclared identifier".

One way to solve this issue is to add @synthesize myProperty = _myProperty;

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new class
2. add a property like @property (nonatomic) NSURL * myURL;
3. Override getter
4. Reference _myURL inside getter

Expected Results:
Being able to reference instance variable _myURL for example for lazy initialization inside the getter method

Actual Results:
Compile error: Use of undeclared identifier '_myURL'

Version:
Version 6.2 (6C131e)
