Add the ability to specify symbolic default value for optional boolean
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-1130
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1130
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compiler (General)
Affects Versions: 0.6, 0.5
Reporter: Nevo Hed
Priority: Minor
When specifying a default value for an optional struct member of the type bool
the user now needs to enter a numeric value (0, or 1). It would be nice if
they could specify a symbolic value such as 'true' & 'false'
Example thrift file:
struct AtscStrmRecordRequestT {
1: optional bool bDoSomething = true,
2: required string whatever;
}
With current error
$ /opt/thrift-0.6.0/compiler/cpp/thrift --gen cpp /rtmp/x.thrift
[ERROR:/rtmp/x.thrift:2] (last token was 'true')
Cannot use reserved language keyword: "true"
