Vadim Chekan commented on THRIFT-1127:
--------------------------------------
Why not init fields with default values instead of doing it in default
constructor?
If init fields with default values, it allows dropping default constructor
unconditionally. Which allows more flexibility in partial classes, for example
override default value conditionaly:
"partial class C { C() {if(Something) _x = NOT_DEFAULT;} }
> C# should not generate default constructor

> Key: THRIFT-1127
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1127
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C# - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.5

> Attachments: DontCreateEmptyDefaultConstructor.patch

>
> The C# code generator should not produce a default constructor.
> Thrift generates partial classes for thrift structs, meaning that the class
> may be spread across multiple files and csc will link them to be a separate
> file. When the thrift generated class has the partial constructor, it cannot
> be added in other files. This is a problem if you want to implement a default
> constructor that does some initialization to the data in the class.
> For example, this thrift code:
> {code}
> struct DateTime
> {
> 1: required i64 ticks,
> }
> {code}
> produces
> {code}

> It would be great if it instead produced code like this:
