> better COM-ability for generated Delphi interfaces
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-2580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2580
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Delphi - Compiler
> Reporter: Jens Geyer
> Assignee: Jens Geyer
>
> Consists of two major points:
> * reintegrate UUID generation code to add IIDs to generated interfaces.
> * optionally generate WideString instead of String
> Currently, generated interfaces do not have an IID assigned. Although not
> absolutely necessary, having a IID assigned is considered good practice and
> makes certain things possible which are not possible without an IID assigned,
> like cross-module usage.
> Same is true for {{WideString}} (Delphi-equivalent of BSTR), which can be
> directly used cross-module, while standard Delphi {{String}} cannot. However,
> {{String}} is far more efficient compared to {{WideString}}, thus {{String}}
> shall remain the default, and the {{WideString}} usage is *only* to be
> enabled via Thrift compiler switch.
> -Needs to check, if the boost version available at compiler build time
> supports this.-
