Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-248:
--------------------------------------
Yeah, I'll get the method names interned and shared between all the new c
files. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I tried to use a switch statement originally, but since my TTYPE_* aren't
actually constants (they're variables), the compiler tells me that it's not
allowed.
I think we should modify the BinaryProtocolAccelerated in this issue, since
otherwise it won't work and will contain a lot of dead code. It's mostly code
removal, anyways, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. One of my subsequent
versions will contain this change.

> Kevin Clark's excelled BinaryProtocolAccelerated implementation in the Ruby
> library is very fast, in large part due to the fact that it implements not
> just the protocol but also the struct components of serialization directly as
> a C extension. The problem with this arrangement is that other protocols that
> would benefit from accelerated struct code don't get the benefit. In
> particular, I'd like to make my implementation of the Compact Protocol fast
> in Ruby, and the key appears to be the struct serialization code.
> I think that we should make an effort to divorce the struct stuff from the
> protocol stuff in BinaryProtocolAccelerated, so that all protocols can
> benefit. Some quick benchmarking seems to indicate that there is going to be
> some additional method call overhead in this situation, but it's not really
> that substantial.
