cthrift is now alpha! cthrift is a Thrift-compatible RPC stub generator that starts from annotated C and generates fairly efficient client-side C code. See http://cthrift.sourceforge.net for more details. Its definitely worth considering if you're using TBinary over TSocket and: 1. are running into run-time performance issues or 2. you want to use C but can't because Thrift doesn't have a C generator
