Ben Craig commented on THRIFT-2717:
-----------------------------------

v2 headers could #error if used with too old of a compiler (or any that set 
__cplusplus wrong).  The #error could suggest they use v1.

We can have the generated skeleton app always track the latest version.  
Comments can be added near the top of the code generated files (especially the 
legacy ones) that suggest when to use the file.

> 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 :)
