David Reiss commented on THRIFT-1031:
-------------------------------------
I agree that that dependency is not acceptable, especially for such an invasive
change to TSocket. My proposed solution would be
- For ctime_r, only use APR on Windows.
- For TSocket, instead of commenting out huge swaths of the code, just fork the
class into TAprSocket. TSocket would continue to not build on Windows, but
TAprSocket would be the alternative. Unix users could switch if they wanted to
include the extra dependency.
> 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
> Fix For: 0.7
>
> Attachments: thrift_msvc.patch, thrift_msvc_v0_1.patch
>
>
> 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.
