----------------------------------
Summary: Switch IThriftConfiguration interfacefrom Cardinal to
Integer
Key: THRIFT-5850
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5850
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jens Geyer
Assignee: Jens Geyer
Delphi (especially older versions) has a tradition of bad detection of
assignments between unsigned and signed integers and vice versa. The developer
only rarely gets a warning, in some Delphi versions none at all. Hence,
although a configuration such as
{code}
config := TThriftConfigurationImpl.Create;
config.MaxMessageSize := value;
config.MaxFrameSize := value;
{code}
might seem to succeed for value > MAXINT at compile time, in reality it
produces errors at runtime due to a (unsigned) cardinal value being casted
later on to a negative signed int32.
