example showing incompatible pointer type assignment not detected when used
with init method

Objective-C - incompatible pointer type assignment not detected when used with
init method

When an init method returns a pointer type and when that pointer is assigned to
another incompatible pointer variable, the compiler doesn't throw an error /
warning

Note - When tested with a method that doesn't have the prefix as "init",
compiler manages to detect the error / warning

Actual Behavior
============
The compiler doesn't throw an error / warning, when pointer type returned by an
init method is assigned to an incompatible variable.

Expected Behavior
==============
The compiler should throw an error / warning, when pointer type returned by an
init method is assigned to an incompatible variable.

Example (Sample Objective-C program) 
=================================
Sample program showing incompatible pointer assignment by init method is
attached
