Phil Eaton created THRIFT-2561:
----------------------------------
Summary: Enumerated types expressed as int, not "typedef"-ed, in
objective-c compilation
Key: THRIFT-2561
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2561
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Cocoa - Compiler
Reporter: Phil Eaton
Priority: Minor
When an enumerated type is translated to objective-c, the type is replaced with
simply "int". This takes away half the use of an enumerated type as a type. It
is more useful to see "PersonID" for instance as a field type in a method than
"int". However, the objective-c compiler does not typedef the enum and as a
result essentially forgets the type that is declared in the thrift IDL.
