alisdair sullivan commented on THRIFT-2689:
-------------------------------------------
the haskell compiler backend does the same thing as the erlang backend and
generates identical structs from structs with different names (due to mutating
struct names in compilation)
i don't know enough about haskell to know what the appropriate fix is in this
case -- there may not be one -- so i've just removed the problematic structure
from the NameConflictTest.thrift definition
> struct names that differ only in capitalization of first character generate
> broken erlang code

> Key: THRIFT-2689
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2689
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Erlang - Compiler, Erlang - Library
> Reporter: alisdair sullivan
> Assignee: alisdair sullivan
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.9.2
>
>
> the following thrift specification generates broken erlang code:
> struct invalid { /* contents of struct are irrelevent */ }
> struct Invalid { /* still irrelevent }
> the compiler currently renames any struct that starts with a capital so that
> it starts with a lowercase letter. instead, it should leave names intact and
> use proper erlang syntax in generation. the attached patch does exactly that
> this does break backwards compatibility
