Daniel Wolf commented on THRIFT-2421:
-------------------------------------
It seems like this kind of recursion definition still does not work in c++:
{code}
struct A {
1: optional A a;
}
{code}
{code}
struct A {
1: optional B b;
}
struct B {
1: optional A a;
}
{code}
For this to work, should the thrift c++ compile generate fields as pointers?
The the forward declaration will work.
