>
>
> C++ (and maybe other languages?) treat Thrift struct-typed fields as plain
> struct members of the containing struct. Currently, the generator outputs the
> types in the same order as they're defined in the underlying Thrift field,
> which means that a file like:
> {code}
> struct A {
> 1: B foo;
> }
> struct B {
> }
> {code}
> will generate C++ code that fails to compile.
> We should topologically-sort the structs before outputting the definitions so
> that the generated code compiles correctly.
