Konrad Grochowski commented on THRIFT-2717: ------------------------------------------- Important note - I'm not planning on making any changes in library, in case of conflict I'll change generator also - I'm not going to move all functionality of cpp generator and I assume it will still be available. Maybe at some point it could be renamed to cpp98 and cpp11 to just cpp, but that in a distant future > C++11 generator > --------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2717 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2717 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: C++ - Compiler > Reporter: Konrad Grochowski > > instead of adding another set of options to 'old' cpp generator I've started > creating new one in: > https://github.com/hcorg/thrift/tree/cpp11_generator > using old as an reference > main goals: > * no more ugly {{__isset}} structure -> boost::optional for optional values > * as a result - no more {{__}} in names, which violates C++ standard > * all generation code will have own unit tests (TDD used wherever possible) > * generated types headers independent from Thrift header, to allow other > layers of application using generated types without dependency leaks > * each type will generate own header/cpp file - easier for user to include > only used parts. > * unordered map/sets > * returning using move semantics, no more ugly 'return via output parameter' > (still possible as option thou - sometimes it's needed for performance) > * async client using boost::future > * enum classes > * initializer lists for constants (maybe) > I'm aiming in C++11 subset available in gcc 4.8 and MSVC 2013 > currently I have only complete enum generation, but work is in progress > all comments etc are very welcome :) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
