Todd Lipcon commented on THRIFT-537:
------------------------------------
bq. So you'd have to decide if this header is language independent or not, and
if any fields need to be substituted.
Seems to me that the header should be language-dependent, given most of the
time this will want to be a comment, and comment syntax is different. Given
that many groups of languages share syntax, you should be able to specify a
given header for a set of languages - perhaps with a '*' wildcard option.
As for substituted fields, I think the basics would be (1) username who ran
thrift, (2) timestamp of generation, (3) absolute path of source file. But I
don't see these features as crucial for the most common use case (license
headers)

> It would be great if there were an option you could pass to the compiler in
> order to specify a file, the contents of which would be prepended to
> generated source as comments. This would be useful for license texts,
