> Thrift IDL grammar allows for dotted identifier names

> Key: THRIFT-2147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2147
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Jens Geyer
> Assignee: Jens Geyer

> Attachments: dotted_identifiers.thrift
>
>
> Hi all,
> Recently I noticed that the Thrift grammar allows for identifiers that are
> illegal in most (if not all) supported languages, like:
> {code}
> enum Additional.Requirement {
> Speak.My.Language = 0,
> }
> typedef list< Additional.Requirement> Even.Further.Requirements
> struct Place.Order {
> 3 : optional Even.Further.Requirements My.Further.Requirements
> }
> {code}
> and so on.
> The compiler generates code from that without a single complaining. Of
> course, the generated code does not compile.
> Before I submit a patch to address this, I'd like to know
> a) Is there any (supported) language where such a construct would be legal
> and expected?
> b) Anyone around here that knows whys the grammar allows this? By intention
> or simply a bug?
> Thanks,
> Jens
