Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-2457: ------------------------------------ {quote} A compiler supporting float will provide this warning: {code} use Thrift Libraries > 0.9.1 or latest version, they should handle float properly {code} a old compiler this: {code} thrift -gen cpp Float.thrift [ERROR:Float.thrift:21] (last token was 'float') Cannot use reserved language keyword: "float" {code} {quote} Exactly. So the old compiler/library pair does not understand float, and the new compiler/library pair understands and handles it (except for the short trime period where not all languages have completed implementation). Hence, the warning will only makes sense for someone using compiler/library pair with mixed versions. Is that really such a so common case? > fbthrift float > -------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2457 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2457 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Build Process, C++ - Compiler, C++ - Library, Test Suite > Reporter: Roger Meier > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.0 > > > I'm interested into the fbthrift FLOAT data type. > Which languages are supported? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
