Jake Farrell reassigned THRIFT-1500: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Jake Farrell > D programming language support > ------------------------------ > > Key: THRIFT-1500 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1500 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: David Nadlinger > Assignee: Jake Farrell > Attachments: thrift-d.patch > > > As some of you might remember, I started working on [D programming > language|http://dlang.org] support for Thrift during the [2011 Google Summer > of Code|http://klickverbot.at/code/gsoc/thrift/]. After many unexpected > delays, the time has finally come where both the code is stable - that is, > ready for upstream merging, I hope - and I can spare enough time to focus any > further issues that should pop up. > The library generally tries to follow the precedent set by C++ and Java in > design and, in some places, implementation. What is pretty unique, though, is > that most of the actual code generation is done at D compile time, the Thrift > compiler module for D does little more than providing a direct translation of > the IDL file(s) into D code. > What is done: > - Binary/Compact/JSON protocols > - Socket, SSL, HTTP and file transports (plus your familiar helpers, i.e. > buffered/framed/memory-buffer/piped/zlib...) > - Several single- and multithreaded server variants (including a > libevent-based non-blocking implementation) > - Both synchronous and asynchronous client implementations > - Reasonably good test suite coverage > Wish/Todo list: > - SSL support for the asynchronous clients (probably done in the next weeks) > - More real-world battle testing (I have mostly written synthetic test cases > similar to the other languages; while I know of a few people intending to use > Thrift/D in the wild, but still need to inquire about the current status) > I have been developing the project in my own fork [over at > GitHub|https://github.com/klickverbot/thrift], attached is a (large) patch > against current trunk. Using a current D compiler, the test suite should pass > on Linux x86/x86_64, OS X x86/x86_64 and Windows x86. The necessary > dependencies are detected by configure. At the [GitHub project > wiki|https://github.com/klickverbot/thrift/wiki/], I put together an > introduction and build instructions, which could e.g. be moved to the Thrift > wiki. A recent build of the API documentation can currently be found [at my > personal website|http://klickverbot.at/code/gsoc/thrift/docs/]. > Please let me know about the best way to go forward with this, and feel free > to let me know of any issues with the code you might come across (the build > system integration could particularly use a look, Autotools isn't exactly my > strength). If the code will make its way into trunk, I will also be happy to > fill out any necessary legal paperwork, I'm just not quite sure what is > required by the ASF in that regard. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
