HIRANO Satoshi commented on THRIFT-1340: ---------------------------------------- Thanks, Jake. I will write a wiki page after holidays. > Add support of ARC to Objective-C > --------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1340 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1340 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Cocoa - Compiler, Cocoa - Library > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Environment: Mac OS X Lion, iOS 4.2, 4.3, 5.0.. > Reporter: HIRANO Satoshi > Assignee: HIRANO Satoshi > Fix For: 0.9 > > Attachments: THRIFT-0.8.0-dev_cocoa_ARC.patch > > Original Estimate: 24h > Remaining Estimate: 24h > > Objective-C in Xcode 4.2 supports ARC (Automatic Reference Counting, not GC > but similar) and now it is the default both on OS X Lion and iOS 5. (ARC > works on iOS 4.2 or higher.) > The conventional Objective-C code includes many retain/release/autorelease > for maintaining the life time of objects. > Since the latest Objective-C compiler automatically generates stubs for > reference counting, code should not include any retain/release/autorelease. > Many Mac OS/iOS projects are moving to ARC mode. Although we can specify a > compiler flag which tells ARC or no-ARC file by file in Xcode 4.2, there is > no means to tell the Xcode that files generated by the thrift compiler are > no-ARC. Xcode produces many error messages like "retain is not allowed in ARC > mode". > So, the thrift compiler should support ARC mode. > What we need are: > 1) add -objc-arc flag to the thrift compiler. > 2) If -objc-arc flag exists, omit generating code for > retain/release/autorelease. > Please look at "Programming with ARC reference notes" in iOS developer > library. > http://andpdas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ARCProgrammingGuide.pdf -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
