Benjamin Gould commented on THRIFT-3956:
----------------------------------------
Possible solution could be to:
1) Identify all Java keywords that do are not in the thrift reserved words list
2) For those keywords, prefix the field name etc with a '$' character.
Underscore is also possible but since Thrift identifiers can have underscores
at the beginning, using an underscore might require more thought.
> Java keywords that are legal in IDL can lead to generated code that will not
> compile

> Key: THRIFT-3956
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3956
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0
> Reporter: Benjamin Gould
> Priority: Minor
>
> Consider the following IDL, which is legal and leads to successful source
> code generation using the Java generator:
> {noformat}
> struct int {
> 1: i32 val
> }
> struct boolean {
> 1: bool val
> }
> struct long {
> 1: i64 val
> }
> struct short {
> 1: i16 short
> }
> struct char {
> 1: i16 val
> }
> struct Primitives {
> 1: i32 int,
> 2: i64 long,
> 3: i16 short,
> 4: bool boolean,
> 5: i16 char
> }
> {noformat}
> The generated does not compile because the struct names and fields names are
> reserved keywords in Java, even though they are not reserved words in the
> Thrift compiler.
