Jens Geyer updated THRIFT-5627: ------------------------------- Description: As a side effect on my current work I recognized a warning that was there before: Essentially it boils down to the list<> case in these definitions taken from https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl which causes ambiguities. {code} [28] MapType ::= 'map' CppType? '<' FieldType ',' FieldType '>' [29] SetType ::= 'set' CppType? '<' FieldType '>' [30] ListType ::= 'list' '<' FieldType '>' CppType? {code} I wonder why we need it this way at all. Wouldn't it be better if list<> set<> and map<> would expect the same syntax? was: As a side effect on my current work I recognized a warning that was there before: Essentially it boils down to the list in these definitions taken from https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl {code} [28] MapType ::= 'map' {color:#DE350B}CppType?{color} '<' FieldType ',' FieldType '>' [29] SetType ::= 'set' {color:#DE350B}CppType?{color} '<' FieldType '>' [30] ListType ::= 'list' '<' FieldType '>' {color:#DE350B}CppType?{color} {code} I wonder why we need it this way at all.
