Douglas Creager commented on AVRO-778:
--------------------------------------
Incidentally, I'll need to check AVRO-777 to see if there's any overlap, and
how hard it would be to merge the two efforts.
> C: avrocc schema-specific compiler

> Key: AVRO-778
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-778
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Douglas Creager
> Assignee: Douglas Creager
>
> I've started work on a pure-C compiler for generating C types that are
> specific to an Avro schema. This resurrects the avro_schema_specific
> function that's been lying around in the header file for awhile. I'm only
> focusing on the data serialization parts of the spec; at least for now, I'm
> not including any of the RPC stuff.
> One of my main goals with this is for the compiler to be in pure C; I don't
> want to have to install the Java language bindings in order to run the schema
> compiler. This means that I can't use the Velocity engine to produce the
> output .c and .h files. Instead of trying to find a good C templating
> engine, I'm just using the trusty C preprocessor. It's not the prettiest
> thing in the world, but it's perfectly capable.
> This issue will track my progress on this; I'll upload patches here, as well
> as maintain a branch at
> [github|https://github.com/dcreager/avro/tree/specific].
