Xiaoshuang LU commented on THRIFT-3013:
---------------------------------------

Hi Roger, I share your opinion.  But I am afraid I do not think it is a good 
idea to reject this patch.  Here are some reasons.

1. Official documentation (http://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/) guides users 
to build thrift from scratch with Cygwin/MinGW in Microsoft Windows.  I suppose 
that "getopt_long" is not a obstacle since both Cygwin and MinGW offer users 
such function.
2. I have already borrowed "getopt_long" from FreeBSD repository, although it 
was not included in this patch.  If possible, I would be glad to submit 
"getopt_long" in another JIRA ticket.

By the way, there is a obvious unportable code block in 
compiler/cpp/src/main.cc.  Line 37 and line 38 include "sys/types.h" and 
"sys/stat.h" respectively, but these header files are introduced in POSIX.

> At present, customer could specify one input file to the thrift compiler.  
> There are maybe two approaches to support multiple input files.
> Approach 1: Improve the option parser in compiler/cpp/src/main.cc.  Maybe we 
> can borrow code from GUN's getopt_long.
> Approach 2: Offer uses a maven plugin which can help them to iterate through 
> a list of input files.
