Steal ProtocolBuffers' VarInt implementation for C++
----------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-424
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-424
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Library (C++)
Reporter: David Reiss
Priority: Minor
Protocol Buffers use the same varint format as TCompactProtocol (not, as I had
previously believed, TDenseProtocol, which uses the MIDI VLQ format). They
have a much smarter C++ decoder than ours (and probably a better encoder also).
Protocol Buffers is (are?) three-clause BSD licensed, which means that we
should be able to *cough* borrow *cough* their implementation and use it for
our C++ TCompactProtocol implementation.
We might even be able to do the same for Java and Python.
