> Add UUID support for C++
> ------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-5772
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5772
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Carel
> Assignee: Carel
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.21.0
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Starting the discussion to add UUID support for C++.
> I have started with an implementation (See PR linked soon)
> Open points for discussion:
> # Is there perhaps a need to add a wrapper class for UUID?
> ## I started off with {{std::string}} for ease-of-use
> ## 'ease-of-use' has the drawback of ease of miss-use...
> ## Something lightweight as a strong wrapper to wrap a `{{uint8_t data[16];}}`
> ### A wrapper gives us the ability to add utility functions, like
> `to_string()` and `from_string()`
> ### Can use {{boost::uuids::uuid}} in the implementation, hidden from users
> (see current implementation)
> ## I will see if I can't implement something while this PR is looked at.
> # Can someone help with some cross tests
> ## With the absence of working dockers I am really struggling to get other
> languages compiled.
> ## I don't have enough experience with other languages to effectively do this
> ## I will probably be able to add Java tests if there is something to build
> on (pointers needed)
> # How important is the JSON side?
> ## I did add the support but I see only go has some support for it.
> # (edit) How important is the HOST vs Network order on the UUID?
