Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-3013: ------------------------------------ {quote} 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 [...] {quote} ... the existing Thrift Compiler Visual Studio Project file. We're not interested in the C++ libs here, because we do not use C++, so that simply doesn't matter. But the Thrift compiler of Course does. Right now I only need WinFlexBison in addition to Visual Studio, plus I have to copy + rename one single header file by hand. When removing that file and add boost dependencies, we will need to a) install cmake and b) install boost. In essence, that would be a step backwards for those people who do not develop their stuff with C++. Again, the C++ libraries is an entirely different thing, I only talk about the compiler here. > make thrift compiler accept a list of input files > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-3013 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3013 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Compiler (General) > Affects Versions: 0.9.2 > Reporter: Xiaoshuang LU > Assignee: Roger Meier > Attachments: THRIFT-3013.v4.patch > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
