Vivek Nadkarni commented on AVRO-1173:
--------------------------------------
Regarding the C API: Since the C API is written in C99, it cannot be compiled
as "C" code in VS2008. However, it can be compiled and run as C++ code under
VS2008 -- See AVRO-551. If that functionality has broken subsequently, please
let me know.
> C++ API for dynamic reading/writing based on schema
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1173
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1173
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: c++
> Reporter: Stefan Langer
>
> When I started looking at Avro I hoped it would offer some API to read values
> by name/id (or at least get name/id of datum while iterating over all
> entries).
> When looking at examples for C:
> http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.6.3/api/c/index.html#_examples
> ... or some Java examples
> There are getters/setters which have name-arguments, and there are
> Record-objects constructed from schema which help reading/writing data.
> While testing the C++ API, I couldn't find a way to do so with it!
> I'm still not sure if I'm missing some part of the API or if it is just not
> yet part of the C++ Interface.
> About C API: I could not use it, because it is C99 focused, so it can't be
> compiled on our VS2008 ... For the C++ API it's just some tiny tweaks to get
> it running.
> About Generator: I'm not interested in generating code (if I would be there
> are enough alternatives to Avro ...)
