Improve type mappings
---------------------
Key: THRIFT-906
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-906
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Haskell - Compiler, Haskell - Library
Environment: Darwin -- 10.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: Fri Apr 23
18:28:53 PDT 2010; root:xnu-1504.7.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.3
Reporter: Christian Lavoie
Fix For: 0.5, 0.6, 0.7
The current haskell type mappings are awkward and error prone to work with:
binary -> String
string -> String
byte -> Int
i16 -> Int
i32 -> Int
i64 -> Int
This patch updates the mappings to the canonical types of the correct length in
Haskell:
binary -> Data.ByteString.Lazy.ByteString
string -> String
byte -> Data.Word.Word8
i16 -> Data.Int.Int16
i32 -> Data.Int.Int32
i64 -> Data.Int.Int64
THIS BREAKS EXISTING CODE. It is, however, very arguably broken already.
For convenience of patching, this patch is a superset of THRIFT-743.
