Not so long ago some people absolutely want it to have ... Thank god we're not in the same position as protobuf (it can't do anything out of the box, you always need plugins) where it is a highly needed feature.
I'd still like to hear the opinion of the people who wanted it, but I personally (I can only speak for myself) don't need it. Have fun, JensG -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: James E. King, III Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2017 3:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Compiler plug-ins I'm curious if anyone uses the thrift compiler plug-in feature? It adds a complexity to the build system and the compiler, and if it does not provide value, it should be considered for removal. I'd like to know what the use cases are for having a binary plug-in system when the source code is freely available and modifiable. - Jim
