Jens Geyer updated THRIFT-2580:
-------------------------------
Description:
Consists of two major points:
* reintegrate UUID generation code to add IIDs to generated interfaces.
* generate WideString instead of String
Currently, generated interfaces do not have an IDD assigned. Although not
absolutely necessary, having a IID assigned is considered good practice and
makes certain things possible which are not possible without an IID assigned,
like cross-module usage.
Same is true for {{WideString}} (Delphi-equivalent of BSTR), which can be
directly used cross-module, while standard Delphi {{String}} cannot. However,
{{String}} is far more efficient compared to {{WideString}}, thus {{String}}
shall remain the default, and the whole feature described in this ticket is
*only* to be enabled via Thrift compiler switch.
Needs to check, if the boost version available at compiler build time supports
this.
