----------------------------------------

GitHub user jmesmon opened a pull request:

    https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1085

    THRIFT-3831 in test/cpp explicitly use `signed char`

    `char`'s signed-ness is implimentation dependent, and in the case where
    `char` was not signed, we previously recieved errors like
    
        thrift/0.9.3-r0/git/test/cpp/src/TestClient.cpp:404:15: error: 
narrowing conversion of '-127' from 'int' to 'char' inside { } [-Wnarrowing]
    
    (This example from gcc-6 on arm)

> Specifically, we get a bunch of errors like:
>             test/cpp/src/TestClient.cpp:404:15: error: narrowing conversion 
> of '-1' from 'int' to 'char' inside { } [-Wnarrowing]
> gcc faq talks about this: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#Wnarrowing
> I've only seen this in gcc-6, but the faq seems to indicate it could occur in 
> gcc-5 as well.
