Konrad Grochowski commented on THRIFT-2067: ------------------------------------------- I've started working on it: https://github.com/hcorg/thrift/tree/ostream_operator I'll submit pullreq when ready > Thrift objects should have a default string representation > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2067 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2067 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ - Compiler, C++ - Library > Reporter: Vitali Lovich > > Just like thrift objects implement a custom toString in Java, there should be > an inline friend function that writes a text representation of the struct to > a std::ostream. Probably makes sense for the text representation to be > similar to C++: > {code} > class MyThriftClass { > friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& o, MyThriftClass) { > o << "MyThriftClass["; > o << "field1=" << field1; > if (__isset.field2) { > o << ", field2=" << field2; > } > o << ", list1=" << apache::thrift::util::to_string(list1); > return o << "]"; > } > // ... > } > {code} > There will also probably be a util.h file to include that implements generic > template to_string for lists, maps, & sets. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
