Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-3051:
-------------------------------------------
The [next installment|https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1170] is for
modernizing the legacy part of C++ API. It is not clear if anyone uses it any
more.
I plan to follow this with the last PR for unit tests.
> Modernize C++ implementation
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-3051
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3051
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: c++
> Reporter: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
> Assignee: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
> Priority: Major
>
> We have mandated C++11 in out builds. But the code itself is mostly C++98 or
> C++03 style. Thanks to C++ backward compatibility, it works well. But moving
> to "modern C++" (in the sense used by [Scott
> Meyers|[https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/effective-modern-c/9781491908419/],]
> will make the code more compact, more readable and in some cases even faster.
> In this ticket I intend to introduce a series of pull requests modernizing
> the C++ implementation. I'll take extra care to keep the interface to the
> users the same. So most of the changes will be in the {{impl}} directory. The
> {{api}} directory may change a bit but will not break the current clients.
> For the initial round, we'll continue make it compile against C++11 standard.
> We can reap even more benefits by moving to something like C++17. But that is
> for another day.
