Hi Jens,
The other interesting question is, why it could be an issue at all, to keep > a private field private? I think the issue is not why someone else needs it, the issue when looking at the compiler error (my interpretation at least) is that thrift itself can't build as a shared lib if that field is not exported: > C:\j\b\thrif937bd10a672f8\b\build\bin\Release\thriftnbmd.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals [C:\j\b\thrif937bd10a672f8\b\build\lib\cpp\thriftnb.vcxproj] > Building Custom Rule C:/j/b/thrif937bd10a672f8/b/src/lib/cpp/CMakeLists.txt My 2c, Regards, Carel
