Benjamin Gould commented on THRIFT-3013:
----------------------------------------
FWIW I use the technique of creating a single file that contains only includes,
and use the -recurse option to make sure they are all processed, as Jens
mentioned in a comment above. For the most part this works flawlessly...
however IIRC in at least one language (PHP I think?) this can cause an invalid
file or two (Types.php IIRC) to be generated, but I think that problem would
occur in any namespace that does not define any structs or other types. In any
case, I suppose it would be convenient to apply this feature to the compiler
but just wanted to point out that Jen's solution is a simple workaround.
Also FWIW I actually appreciate how simple it is to build the compiler... for
the most part I use Thrift with Java, JS, and PHP, and never with C++ so it is
really nice to be able to build with a simple ./configure --disable-libs &&
make && cp compiler/cpp/thrift and not have to worry about boost, especially
since the Thrift release cycle seems pretty long and I don't even when releases
happen I don't actually know where I would get binaries other than for
Windows... just my opinion of course

>
> At present, customers could only specify one input file to thrift compiler.
> There are maybe two approaches to support multiple input files.
> Approach 1: Improve the option parser in compiler/cpp/src/main.cc. Maybe we
> can borrow code from GUN's getopt_long.
> Approach 2: Offer users a maven plugin which can help them to iterate through
> a list of input files.
