Patch to compile Thrift for vc++ 9.0 and 10.0
---------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-1031
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1031
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++ - Library
Environment: Windows XP 32bit, vc++ 9.0, 10.0
Reporter: James Dickson
Priority: Trivial
At our company we need clients running on Windows being able to connect to our
linux servers running hypertable. The attached patch enables the parts needed
by Hypertable to be compiled on Windows using either the VC++ 9.0 or 10.0
compilers.
Having read previous posts about ports using boost::asio we found these to be
too intrusive for our needs. This version uses pthreads_win32 and winsock2 and
is as designed to be as un-intrusive as is possible to the original unix code
base. It is mostly #defines between unix sockets and winsock2 sockets. We also
tried to follow the folder structuring of the C# runtime that has visual studio
solutions to be consistent.
More details are in the README as not all the functionality of the original
unix code base is available to windows users. We will add the missing
functionality, we just wanted to share what we had as for a Windows based
client for us it is sufficient.
The patch is based on the latest revision in SVN, we would love feedback and
any code reviews. If there is any possibility of this being added to the main
trunk then that would be much appreciated, however we don't expect that.
