Carel commented on THRIFT-5772: ------------------------------- Quick response: # Wrapper class: Almost done, want to do a quick test then I will push ## There is a ticket here somewhere that captures the effort to remove boost from the public API and I really don't want to be the one that brings it back... # Any help will be appreciated # Noted # On the ordering: There are some hints [here|https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/delphi/src/Thrift.Utils.pas#L365] ## I need to look into what boost can do > Add UUID support for C++ > ------------------------ > > Key: THRIFT-5772 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5772 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Carel > Priority: Minor > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Starting the discussion to add UUID support for C++. > I have started with an implementation (See PR linked soon) > Open points for discussion: > # Is there perhaps a need to add a wrapper class for UUID? > ## I started off with {{std::string}} for ease-of-use > ## 'ease-of-use' has the drawback of ease of miss-use... > ## Something lightweight as a strong wrapper to wrap a `{{uint8_t data[16];}}` > ### A wrapper gives us the ability to add utility functions, like > `to_string()` and `from_string()` > ### Can use {{boost::uuids::uuid}} in the implementation, hidden from users > (see current implementation) > ## I will see if I can't implement something while this PR is looked at. > # Can someone help with some cross tests > ## With the absence of working dockers I am really struggling to get other > languages compiled. > ## I don't have enough experience with other languages to effectively do this > ## I will probably be able to add Java tests if there is something to build > on (pointers needed) > # How important is the JSON side? > ## I did add the support but I see only go has some support for it. > # (edit) How important is the HOST vs Network order on the UUID? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
