Jens Geyer created THRIFT-5154:
----------------------------------
Summary: Generate interface IDs (IID) for Windows platforms
Key: THRIFT-5154
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5154
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Delphi - Compiler
Reporter: Jens Geyer
Assignee: Jens Geyer
Although Delphi allows for interfaces without an assigned IID (or GUID),
certain operations do indeed require a IID, such as
{{[SysUtils.Supports()|http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Rio/en/System.SysUtils.Supports]}}.
Hence, to support such "Delphi interface best practices" it would be extremely
helpful if the generator could create a valid IID at least for Windows
platforms (which is Delphi's natural target and development platform).
The code should be held easily expandable to support other platforms in the
future.
