Ben Craig commented on THRIFT-2471:
-----------------------------------
[~henrique] : There are some challenges with using non-owning pointers. On the
client side, things are easy enough, but on the server side, the processor
would need to own the referenced objects and clean them up. This is doable,
but it is unusual in comparison to the rest of the serialization.
> Make cpp.ref annotation language agnostic

> Key: THRIFT-2471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2471
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Jens Geyer
> Fix For: 0.9.2
>
>
> The proposal is to make the new {{cpp.ref}} annotation introduced with
> THRIFT-2421 language agnostic instead of a C++ specialty only.
> The annotation changes inlined nested structs into pointers to structs. This
> behaviour is potentially relevant with all languages using value semantics
> for nested structs etc.
