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. <!-- The Contributing Guide at: https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md has more details and tips for committing properly. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
