> This introduces support for the final keyword in the thrift IDL. A C++
> thrift struct that is declared final loses it's virtual dtor, which saves the
> memory overhead of one vtable per instance. This (along with the required
> keyword) can be very helpful if you're passing around big lists of small
> thrift structs.
> This patch also includes modifications for the java generator to recognize
> and apply final. I'm not familiar enough with the other languages to know if
> this notion applies to them.
> (A patch for this was submitted in thrift's pre-apache days and was met with
> approval, but then fell off the radar, so I'm trying again.)
