David Reiss commented on THRIFT-6:
----------------------------------
The one downside of using .in files is that some of the language libraries
(like Java and Python) can currently be built without running configure.
> Thrift libraries and compiler lack version number

> Key: THRIFT-6
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-6
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Assignee: Roger Meier
>
> Right now it's impossible to tell which version of Thrift you have installed.
> If you're depending on features that have recently been added (and that
> subtly don't exist), you can spend a lot of time chasing your tail trying to
> figure out what the problem is.
> This may be something that has to be implemented piecemeal on each client
> library (ruby gem, java classes, etc). Thoughts?
> While we're at it, let's add a --version switch or something to the compiler
> so you know what version of stuff you're actually generating.
