Jens Geyer updated THRIFT-3650:
-------------------------------
Description:
With C++ the following {{union}} generates incorrect serialization code:
{code}
union type_ex {
1 : string foo
2 : i32 bar
3 : double baz
}
{code}
This results in all three fields being *unconditionally* written, which not
only wastes space on the wire, but also sets all {{__isset}} bits during
deserialization. This makes it a bit hard to the other side to find out which
{{union}} field is the right one.
{code}
uint32_t type_ex::write(::apache::thrift::protocol::TProtocol* oprot) const {
uint32_t xfer = 0;
apache::thrift::protocol::TOutputRecursionTracker tracker(*oprot);
xfer += oprot->writeStructBegin("type_ex");
xfer += oprot->writeFieldBegin("STRING",
::apache::thrift::protocol::T_STRING, 1);
xfer += oprot->writeString(this->STRING);
xfer += oprot->writeFieldEnd();
xfer += oprot->writeFieldBegin("INT64", ::apache::thrift::protocol::T_I64, 2);
xfer += oprot->writeI64(this->INT64);
xfer += oprot->writeFieldEnd();
xfer += oprot->writeFieldBegin("DOUBLE",
::apache::thrift::protocol::T_DOUBLE, 3);
xfer += oprot->writeDouble(this->DOUBLE);
xfer += oprot->writeFieldEnd();
xfer += oprot->writeFieldStop();
xfer += oprot->writeStructEnd();
return xfer;
}
{code}
*Note* that the code above is just right (due to "default" requiredness) if we
talk about structs. But these rules do not really apply to union members where
*by definition* only one value is used. Hence, union members implicitly have
{{optional}} requiredness
*Workaround*
Add explicit {{optionals}}:
{code}
union type_ex {
1 : optional string foo
2 : optional i32 bar
3 : optional double baz
}
{code}
