Yuxuan Wang commented on THRIFT-5859:
-------------------------------------
I'll go with slice. If the other case is needed, a one-time O(N) operation to
build the map themselves should be trivial.
> go: Generate a map for know values of an enum type
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-5859
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5859
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Go - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0
> Reporter: Yuxuan Wang
> Assignee: Yuxuan Wang
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> When an enum type is defined in thrift, in generated go code, there's no way
> to enumerate all the known values of the enum type. In most other languages
> there's usually a way (via reflecting, access to some private fields, etc.)
> to get those.
> I propose to also generate a map like:
> {code:go}
> var FooKnownValues = map[Foo]bool {
> ONE: true,
> TWO: true,
> }
> {code}
> So it can be used to enumerate all defined values programmatically.
> Open to suggestions on the name of the map value :)
