Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-1712:
-------------------------------------
[~beberg] I agree, it would be nice to be consistent with the other languages
here. On the other-hand we need to keep the amount of compiler parameters and
options as small as possible to minimize the maintenance efforts on the
compiler and libs.
> Add TBase class for c++

> Key: THRIFT-1712
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1712
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++ - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: Martin Vogt
> Assignee: Ben Craig
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: base, c++, class
> Attachments: 000_line_first_140628v1.patch,
> 010_base_struct_gen_140629v1.patch, 011_base_struct_rest_140619v2.patch

>
> The generated c++ classes for struct's do not have a common base class.
> The patch adds two options to the compiler:
> - line_first : first line before all includes
> - base_struct : custom base class for structs
> For example:
> {code:title=MyService.thrift}
> struct MyStruct {
> 1:i32 val;
> }
> service MyService {
> void doSomething();
> }
> {code}
> thrift --gen cpp:line_first='#include <path/TBase.h>',base_struct=':public
> TBase' ./MyService.thrift
> {code:title=MyService_types.h}
> #ifndef MyService_TYPES_H
> #define MyService_TYPES_H
> #include <path/TBase.h>
> #include <thrift/Thrift.h>
> [....]
> class MyStruct:public TBase {
> [...]
> {code}
> The default, without any option:
> thrift --gen cpp ./MyService.thrift
> {code:title=MyService_types.h}
> #ifndef MyService_TYPES_H
> #define MyService_TYPES_H
> /* first line (modifier:off) */
> #include <thrift/Thrift.h>
> [....]
> class MyStruct /* base_struct (modifier:off) */ {
> [...
> {code}
> The idea is to have a base class for typecasting, which can be done with:
> {code}
> void processSignal(const TBase& tBase) {
> if (typeid(tBase).name() == typeid(MyStruct).name())
> printf("MyStruct found!\n")
>
> {code}
