The patches at the above URL allow the current trunk of Thrift C++ to build without warnings in Visual Studio and GNU gcc. I introduce THRIFT_SAFE_CAST in Thrift.h, which tests narrowing conversions for fit. Would-be overflows throw std::runtime_error. Some functions have been modified or overloaded to allow size_t parameters. SOCKET is dealt with intelligently. IMO every public thrift function should have a form accepting normal types -- including e.g. short, int, long, and size_t -- and apply casts as necessary. In particular size_t is important because std constainers have size() members that usually return something like size_t. Enjoy! --jkl
