David Nadlinger updated THRIFT-1500:
------------------------------------
Attachment: (was: thrift-d.patch)
> 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
>
> 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 (most testing has been done using synthetic
> test cases similar to the other languages; and while I know of a few people
> intending to use Thrift/D in the wild, I still need to inquire about the
> current status of their projects)
> 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.
