Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-3051: ------------------------------------------- If there is objection, I'll merge the pull request tomorrow. > Modernize C++ implementation > ---------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-3051 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3051 > Project: Apache Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: c++ > Reporter: Thiruvalluvan M. G. > Assignee: Thiruvalluvan M. G. > Priority: Major > > We have mandated C++11 in out builds. But the code itself is mostly C++98 or > C++03 style. Thanks to C++ backward compatibility, it works well. But moving > to "modern C++" (in the sense used by [Scott > Meyers|[https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/effective-modern-c/9781491908419/],] > will make the code more compact, more readable and in some cases even faster. > In this ticket I intend to introduce a series of pull requests modernizing > the C++ implementation. I'll take extra care to keep the interface to the > users the same. So most of the changes will be in the {{impl}} directory. The > {{api}} directory may change a bit but will not break the current clients. > For the initial round, we'll continue make it compile against C++11 standard. > We can reap even more benefits by moving to something like C++17. But that is > for another day. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
