Hi,
We are software engineering researchers working on automated program analysis
techniques to improve the reliability of RPC frameworks.
We discover a bug illustrated by the following example (The attached script can
help you reproduce the issue).
When using a .thrift file to define a struct, if one of the fields is optional
and has a default i8 value (e.g., 73), there is an inconsistent behavior in
implementations across different languages. Specifically:
# In the Go implementation, if the field is not explicitly defined or assigned
a value, the transmitted value is 0.
# In the Python and Node.js implementations, if the field is not explicitly
defined or assigned a value, the transmitted value is the default value of 73.
This inconsistency indicates that there might be an issue with the Go
implementation.
In our setting, we use Go, Node.js, and Python 3 as the server side, and use
Go, Node.js, and Python 3, as the client side. The thrift file we use is shown
in the flowing picture:

When calling Method_3, the message passed is an instance of StructClass_0,
where f_4 is not set. The f_4 is automatically defined as 0, while in Python 3
and Node.js, f_4 is 73.
The result is shown as bellow:
