I am looking at Thrift for some project and I have noticed that the java code generated by thriftc is relying on the Java VM for autoboxing... I am in some way surprise to find many spots where it's happening, and at first my Eclipse project was not compiling since for performance reason my default project settings were to generate a compilation error when detecting autoboxing. Is there any plan in the future to avoid autoboxing and rather generate some java code that do not have the -small- penalty of getting the VM do the extra work ? I know the cost is small but any performance gain should be considered no ?
