alessandro rossi commented on THRIFT-1173:
------------------------------------------
an update:
-I used ctemplate, but this template engine is very poor (no "for"/"if")
-I switched to (modificated) cpptempl
(https://bitbucket.org/ginstrom/cpptemplate/overview).
PRO:
-for / if
-easy parameter passing
-only two file (cpptempl.cpp,cpptempl.h)
-MIT license (is really good?)
CONS:
-no else/elif
-no include
-I'm investigating in order to use flex/bison (I used them about 15 years ago
:P ) for a new simple-but-powerful template engine without lib dependancies
(thrift already use flex/bison for its grammar).
the new template engine MUST have:
-for/if/else/elif/switch-case
-function
-include
PS: I'm working to python generator using cpptempl and the code lines now are
2240 (original 2390). It's heavy to pass for embedded-code to template-code.

> Key: THRIFT-1173
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1173
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Affects Versions: 0.6.1
> Reporter: alessandro rossi
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: generation, template
>
> IMHO, the code generation embedded into generator's code is not a good
> solution.
> With ctemplate (http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/), for example, we
> can separate logic with generation code.
> If you want I can implement an example for cpp generator.
> Best Regards,
