Jens Geyer updated THRIFT-5656:
-------------------------------
Description:
Currently the Delphi compiler does not differentiate between real Delphi
language keywords (that can be escaped via & prefix) and predefined names/types
that must be handled differently (we do this by adding a underscore postfix so
it becomes e.g. 'System_' instead of 'System' which would collide with the
Delphi runtime unit of that name).
This patch addresses this and handles keywords properly with '&' by
{+}default{+}.
{*}Compatibility{*}: This may break code if one of the Delphi keywords has been
used in the IDL.
{*}Workaround{*}. The old behaviour can be restored via Thrift compiler switch.
