Don't allow unquoted strings at all
-----------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-472
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-472
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compiler (General)
Affects Versions: 0.1
Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
Priority: Minor
If you are working with constants in Thrift and happen to write a string
without quotes, the compiler will warn you about using unquoted strings, but
it's not an error. This can lead to some confusing debugging if you actually
mistyped an enum value's constant or the like.
I propose that rather than having such a thing as an "unquoted string", we just
check if it's a constant, and if not error out. It seems like it would decrease
the potential complexities without really sacrificing any functionality.
