Mike Gresens commented on THRIFT-4156:
--------------------------------------
Unfortunately the IDL grammar in
https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl
does not know anything about comments.
So I assume 2 types of comments
/* ... */ and // ... <eol> are normal comments (skipped while parsing)
and
/** ... */ and /// ... <eol> are documentation comments (like in
doxygen/javadoc).
These documentation comments can occur before the same points in IDL files like
doxygen or javadoc expect it in code.
These documentation comments can be used to generate doxygen/javadoc comments
in generated code.
> Using boost spirit instead of lex and yacc

> Key: THRIFT-4156
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4156
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Mike Gresens
> Attachments: ast.hpp, parser.cpp
>
>
> As a developer I want to use boost spirit to get rid of lex and yacc.
> This kicks dependency to lex, flex, yacc, bison or what ever.
> This makes building easier, because only c++ code must be compiled.
> All grammar is inside the code - all c++. No need to learn ll and yy.
