Mike Riley created THRIFT-3041: ---------------------------------- Summary: Generate asynchronous clients for Cocoa Key: THRIFT-3041 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3041 Project: Thrift Issue Type: Improvement Components: Cocoa - Compiler, Cocoa - Library Reporter: Mike Riley
I've been using thrift on a decent variety of iOS projects for the last ~4 years. Every time I set a new project up, I invariably end up inventing some way to invoke thrift RPC calls via Objective-C block syntax. I usually end up ripping apart the generated classes by declaring their private methods, and then writing a bunch of boilerplate all so that I can avoid using the provided HTTP client, which makes synchronous requests. This is a decent stab at letting the generator take care of this problem for me, and everyone else. It ended up being pretty heavy handed with t_cocoa_generator.cc, but I've spent a while testing this and am pretty confident I managed to avoid breaking anything. I realize this is a large change, so I've put up the sandbox I was using to test on github if that makes it easier to review. If you want the tl;dr; about what practical changes this has on generated sources: https://github.com/yelirekim/thrift-cocoa-love/blob/master/thrift-cocoa-love/ViewController.m https://github.com/yelirekim/thrift-cocoa-love/blob/master/gen-cocoa/asdf.h I'd welcome feedback or proposed modifications if this approach isn't quite right. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
