James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-3921:
--------------------------------------------
I just ran into this while working on retooling the appveyor build, adding
MinGW which is using gcc-6.3 and C++11.
> C++ code should print enums as strings
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-3921
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3921
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++ - Compiler
> Reporter: Vivek Jain
> Assignee: James E. King, III
> Fix For: 0.11.0
>
>
> THRIFT-2067 added {{operator<<}} to the C++ generated code, which is great,
> but enums are printed as numbers rather than their string representation. It
> would be great if the generated code printed them as a string instead. There
> might be some backwards-compatibility concerns (if users have already defined
> their own versions, then thrift's version would cause compile errors), not
> sure how important you guys think those are.
> Other thoughts/concerns? I am willing to work on a patch if no one else is
> able to work on it.
