Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-2717: ------------------------------------- I think we should go into the following direction: * cpp (thrift --gen cpp using lib/cpp) ** as it is today ** no extra dependencies ** supported by stable distro versions * c++ (thrift --gen c++ using lib/c++) ** latest c++ version, C++11 at the moment ** supporting only latest compilers: gcc, clang++ and msvc ** don't care about distro versions ** merge facebook's ccp2 stuff without folly here ** => just a brand new thing! The avoid confused users: add this information to lib/cpp/README.md and lib/c++/README.md -roger > 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: > * code compatible with old librart (at least for first tests, new lib and > compiler switches can be added later) > * 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)
