Henrique Mendonça commented on THRIFT-2422:
-------------------------------------------
+1 for the merge, obviously only if FB is keen to contribute back to the
community. But I believe this merge would be also very helpful for them.
It's just an idea, but I think we could keep their contribution parallel to the
existing library, as they have done themselves. Perhaps cpp11 would probably be
a better name, though.
We could activate or deactivate the individual libraries separately with
autoconf as it has many different dependencies. Although I have nothing against
merging their new features back to the current cpp library, I think a new
library would definitely much easier. And is probably the only way we could
possibly get all the new features and improvements. As we all know there were
many tickets and votes also for c++11 compatibility, and as we discussed it's
probably impossible to have it and at same time keep back compatibility with
legacy code.
Any thoughts?
I know it would increase maintenance efforts but not more than any other new
target language or dialect.
Cheers,
Henrique
