> With C++ the following {{union}} generates incorrect serialization code:
> {code}
> union type_ex {
>   1 : string foo
>   2 : i32    bar
>   3 : double baz
> }
> {code}
> This results in all three fields being *unconditionally* written, which not 
> only wastes space on the wire, but also sets all {{__isset}} bits during 
> deserialization. This makes it a bit hard to the other side to find out which 
> {{union}} field is the right one.
> {code}
> uint32_t type_ex::write(::apache::thrift::protocol::TProtocol* oprot) const {
>   uint32_t xfer = 0;
>   apache::thrift::protocol::TOutputRecursionTracker tracker(*oprot);
>   xfer += oprot->writeStructBegin("type_ex");
>   xfer += oprot->writeFieldBegin("STRING", 
> ::apache::thrift::protocol::T_STRING, 1);
>   xfer += oprot->writeString(this->STRING);
>   xfer += oprot->writeFieldEnd();
>   xfer += oprot->writeFieldBegin("INT64", ::apache::thrift::protocol::T_I64, 
> 2);
>   xfer += oprot->writeI64(this->INT64);
>   xfer += oprot->writeFieldEnd();
>   xfer += oprot->writeFieldBegin("DOUBLE", 
> ::apache::thrift::protocol::T_DOUBLE, 3);
>   xfer += oprot->writeDouble(this->DOUBLE);
>   xfer += oprot->writeFieldEnd();
>   xfer += oprot->writeFieldStop();
>   xfer += oprot->writeStructEnd();
>   return xfer;
> }
> {code}
> *Note* that the code above is just right (due to "default" requiredness) if 
> we talk about structs. But these rules do not really apply to union members 
> where *by definition* only one value is used. Hence, union members implicitly 
> have {{optional}} requiredness
> *Workaround* 
> Add explicit {{optionals}}:
> {code}
> union type_ex {
>   1 : optional string foo
>   2 : optional i32    bar
>   3 : optional double baz
> }
> {code}
