Github user prashantv commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/624#issuecomment-143065168 Thanks for the feedback - I was thinking about a struct approach, but because it's not easy to create a struct inline, I avoided that. As you said, flags work, but lose type safety - there's no way to say that `COERCE_DATA` is not a valid argument for `type_to_go_type`. I think it's better to have type safety. If you think the struct approach is better, we can do that, although calls will then probably look like: ```cpp DeserializeFieldOpts opts opts.UseTrueType = true; opts.InContainer = true; generate_deserialize_field(out, &felem, true, "", opts); ``` I think once we decide on an approach, it should be consistently applied for the other compilers. I'm only really working with Go, so I can only really update the Go generator.
