Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-3533:
------------------------------------
IIRC null pointers are not allowed by design in Thrift.
> Can not send nil pointer as service method argument
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-3533
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3533
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Go - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: Chris Bannister
>
> If you try to send a nil struct as an argument to a service method a panic
> occurs as it tries to write out all the fields in the struct, the python
> generated code has guarding 'if self.x != None:' for every struct field,
> whereas Go only outputs the 'if p.IsSet()' when the field is declared
> optional, which is not possible for argument lists.
