winmillwill opened a new pull request, #3125:
URL: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/3125

   <!-- Explain the changes in the pull request below: -->
   When generated code reads a struct, it runs a `for` loop calling 
`ReadFieldBegin` at the top, but breaks if the field type ID is `thrift.STOP`.
   
   With TDuplicateToProtocol naively performing an equivalent write for every 
it read, this results in extra bytes, which breaks just about any protocol in 
the `DuplicateTo` struct field.
   
   The proposed fix is to simply add special handling for `thrift.STOP` to 
`ReadFieldBegin`.
   
   I'm no thrift expert, so I have no idea how other libraries handle this 
concern.  Ideally, it seems like each protocol should understand and enforce 
the invariant that an attempt to call `WriteFieldBegin` with type ID 0 either 
isn't valid or is a misguided attempt to call `WriteFieldStop`, which could be 
performed instead, perhaps with the additional guardrail that a sequence of 
stops (with length > 1) never makes any sense.  
   
   <!-- We recommend you review the checklist/tips before submitting a pull 
request. -->
   
   - [ x ] Did you create an [Apache 
Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/THRIFT/issues/) ticket?  
([Request account here](https://selfserve.apache.org/jira-account.html), not 
required for trivial changes)
   - [ x ] If a ticket exists: Does your pull request title follow the pattern 
"THRIFT-NNNN: describe my issue"?
   - [ x ] Did you squash your changes to a single commit?  (not required, but 
preferred)
   - [ x ] Did you do your best to avoid breaking changes?  If one was needed, 
did you label the Jira ticket with "Breaking-Change"?
   - [ x ] If your change does not involve any code, include `[skip ci]` 
anywhere in the commit message to free up build resources.
   
   ^^ hopefully we can agree this change is trivial, I very badly do not want 
to look at anyone's Jira, especially if it doesn't belong to my employer.
