Henrique Mendonça commented on THRIFT-2471:
-------------------------------------------
Hi guys,
Yes Ben, I see the problematic. I think this annotation only creates the
illusion that some real references would be possible. We could restore the
original implementation with a scoped_ptr as Randy suggested but IMO it won't
change much.
I'd prefer removing it, or really supporting references...
> Make cpp.ref annotation language agnostic

> Key: THRIFT-2471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2471
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Jens Geyer
> Fix For: 0.9.2
>
>
> The proposal is to make the new {{cpp.ref}} annotation introduced with
> THRIFT-2421 language agnostic instead of a C++ specialty only.
> The annotation changes inlined nested structs into pointers to structs. This
> behaviour is potentially relevant with all languages using value semantics
> for nested structs etc.
