------------------------------------
Ping [~codesf]
> More consistent syntax for cpp_type
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-5627
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5627
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Jens Geyer
> Assignee: Jens Geyer
> Priority: Major
>
> As a side effect on my current work I recognized a warning that was there
> before:
> Essentially it boils down to the list<> case in these definitions taken from
> https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl which causes ambiguities.
> {code}
> [28] MapType ::= 'map' CppType? '<' FieldType ',' FieldType '>'
> [29] SetType ::= 'set' CppType? '<' FieldType '>'
> [30] ListType ::= 'list' '<' FieldType '>' CppType?
> {code}
> I wonder why we need it this way at all. Wouldn't it be better if list<>
> set<> and map<> would expect the same syntax?
