Hi everyone - Just wanted to send a quick update on the progress of the Rust Thrift code generation. I've been working on it for the last couple of months and have implemented most of it. What remains:
- derived services - struct constants - docstring generation - compact protocol Of the above, "derived services" are the biggest worry. Rust is not an object-oriented language so implementing this could be...quite involved and require some rework of the generated code. Other than that, there's a lot to do to clean up the code, add comments, documentation and unit tests to the underlying rust library. Finally, the only thing that I would really like to see change on the thrift-compiler side is that "type" be considered a reserved word. Here's the auto-gen code for ThriftTest.thrift: https://gist.github.com/allengeorge/5e602bf40ba68ebe0eb2d3117b5d943d All my work is against thrift-0.10.0, and I've verified that framed/buffered/binary works with TestThrift.thrift against all the clients I'm able to compile on my local machine (only D and Lua are missing). I'm happy to work with everyone to get the code up to snuff and - ideally! - merged into Thrift proper when missing pieces are completed.
