          Issue ID: 24160
           Summary: extern(objective-c) ivars don't respect initializer
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: dmd

I made an extern objc class with a member var and after alloc/init it was not what it was set to.

class thing {
   auto item = 4;
}

item not 4. I suspect it is because the extern objc alloc/init things don't know about D's initializer. Easy to make your own init that does it though.
