Mike Riley created THRIFT-3041:
----------------------------------
Summary: Generate asynchronous clients for Cocoa
Key: THRIFT-3041
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3041
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Cocoa - Compiler, Cocoa - Library
Reporter: Mike Riley
I've been using thrift on a decent variety of iOS projects for the last ~4
years. Every time I set a new project up, I invariably end up inventing some
way to invoke thrift RPC calls via Objective-C block syntax. I usually end up
ripping apart the generated classes by declaring their private methods, and
then writing a bunch of boilerplate all so that I can avoid using the provided
HTTP client, which makes synchronous requests.
This is a decent stab at letting the generator take care of this problem for
me, and everyone else. It ended up being pretty heavy handed with
t_cocoa_generator.cc, but I've spent a while testing this and am pretty
confident I managed to avoid breaking anything. I realize this is a large
change, so I've put up the sandbox I was using to test on github if that makes
it easier to review. If you want the tl;dr; about what practical changes this
has on generated sources:

I'd welcome feedback or proposed modifications if this approach isn't quite
right.
