Brian Forbis created THRIFT-4601:
------------------------------------
Summary: Thrift compiled java: Code too large for try statement
Key: THRIFT-4601
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4601
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java - Compiler
Reporter: Brian Forbis
Java is limited to having 65535 methods per class file. Anything more than that
would cause the java compiler to crash with errors such as:
{{error: {{too many constants}}}}
{{error: code too large for try statement}}
While this likely means the user needs to refactor their IDL into multiple
files and have multiple thrift services, the fact that this limitation does not
exist in other languages can cause this error to come up in surprise when a
user is generating java code for the first time
My thoughts are that the thrift compiler should emit warnings when it parses an
IDL that would not run in certain target languages. This way, even though Java
might not currently be used, the user would know about this limitation ahead of
time.
