Ben Craig commented on THRIFT-2639:
-----------------------------------
I think that the C++ community is still a ways off from transitioning fully to
C++11. THRIFT-2119 is asking for MSVC 2005 support. On the Linux side, RHEL 6
only supports GCC 4.4. Thrift is in the uncomfortable position right now where
it needs to work under C++98 and C++11, but it can't (in general) rely on C++11
yet.

> Currently the c_glib compiler generates a GObject class for each Thrift
> struct, with a corresponding field for each of the struct's members. However
> it doesn't register the members as properties of the object, expecting client
> code to instead access the object's fields directly—an unconventional
> and bad practice.
> This set of patches changes the compiler so it exposes struct members as
> object properties, allowing them to be accessed and modified in the
> conventional manner. (This doesn't _prevent_ objects' fields from being
> accessed directly, though, so existing code will continue to work.)
> The changes are, in order:
> # Initialize list members with their default values, if specified, in the
> constructor of generated struct classes. (Not strictly tied to this issue,
> but used in the test cases I'm submitting.)
> # Add {{get_min_value}} and {{get_max_value}} methods to {{t_enum}}, allowing
> the compiler to determine the valid range for properties representing an
> enumerated type.
> # Output a property enumeration, property setter and property getter for each
> generated class representing a struct, and register the class' properties in
> its class initializer.
> # Gently reformat {{testdebugproto.c}} (as I have now completely rewritten
> it) so my previous work matches the structure of this current work.
