Jake Farrell updated THRIFT-627:
--------------------------------
Attachment: thrift-627_trunk.patch
thrift-627_0.5.x.patch
Adds setters for all fields to the generated cpp code which will automatically
set the __isset.field to true for optional values.
> should c++ have setters for optional fields?

> It seems non-intuitive to me to have to set __isset.someField = true after
> setting an optional field someField on a struct. Would it make sense to have
> a set_someField method that would both set the field and modify __isset?
> One of the cases for this is for when a field goes from being required to
> being optional, and it's easy to forget to set __isset in the code.
