Generated structs should have constructor option to skip default values
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-238
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-238
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
Priority: Trivial
It seems like it would be useful to have an overload (or option) on struct
constructors to skip the initialization of default values. The particular use
case I'm thinking about is when you are going to be using an instance of a
struct to read from a protocol, and you don't want the "merging" effect that
could happen if you have optional fields with default values. It could be very
simple - for instance, in Java, it could just be a constructor like
MyStruct(boolean useDefaults), and the existing no-arg constructor would call
that with true.
