Paul Brown commented on THRIFT-1209: ------------------------------------ Here's a link to the relevant part of code: https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/0.10.0/compiler/cpp/src/thrift/generate/t_php_generator.cc#L483 > PHP compiler generates syntax error when for enums containing constant > "GLOBAL" > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1209 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Bug > Components: PHP - Compiler > Affects Versions: 0.6.1 > Reporter: Nicholas Telford > > Reported on IRC: > If an interface calls for an enum that defines a constant that's an invalid > identifier in PHP (e.g. "GLOBAL") the generated code contains a syntax error. > Example, from the Hive Metastore Thrift interface: > {code} > enum HiveObjectType { > GLOBAL = 1, > DATABASE = 2, > TABLE = 3, > PARTITION = 4, > COLUMN = 5, > } > {code} > Generates the following PHP: > {code} > final class metastore_HiveObjectType { > const GLOBAL = 1; > const DATABASE = 2; > const TABLE = 3; > const PARTITION = 4; > const COLUMN = 5; > static public $__names = array( > 1 => 'GLOBAL', > 2 => 'DATABASE', > 3 => 'TABLE', > 4 => 'PARTITION', > 5 => 'COLUMN', > ); > } > {code} > I suggest we prefix enum constants to avoid this situation, although this > would mean the interface didn't match. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
