title: Where are the synthesized ivars stored?
body: <p>I've been reading up on the automatically synthesized ivars. My question is, "WHere are automatically they allocated?" I would have expected them to be part of self, so that I could see them in the debugger, but it seems that the only way I can see them is by invoking the accessor method (via the gdb 'po' command). Isn't there space in the class/object's struct (as there would be for an explicitly declared ivar)?</p>
  
  <p>(Is there a description of the in-memory representation for a modern Objective-C object?)</p>
  
  <p>Being a C guy, it makes me very uncomfortable to not to be able to see where everything is. :-P</p>
