Use boost:variants for union types in C++ code generation
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-855
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-855
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: c++
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Reporter: Ramana Suvarapu
Fix For: 1.5.2
Hi,
Current C++ code avrocodegencpp generates union_n (where n = 0 to n numbered)
structure with the member boost::any for union schemas.
Is it possible to use boost::variants instead of "union_n" structures? The
advantage of boost::variant is we can define our boost::visitors and apply them
to retrieve the actual type in the union.
Let me know?
