I have a strange issue... I have compiled the trunk tip code under cygwin and
have a compiler for thrift. I made two thrift files - one includes the other.
When I try to compile it with -verbose, I can see that it is parsing both
files, then it complains that the type in the second file is not declared! If
I compile the second file by itself, it works. If I copy the contents of the
second file into the first, it all works. I thought include statements were
supposed to work!! Is this a known issue? See below (I'm finishing up a
single-file code generator plug-in for Visual Studio that will allow you to
treat .thrift files just like any other code file in the IDE):
File 1:
namespace csharp CodeGenMultiFileIncludeTest
include "CodeGenTest2.thrift"
/* When using ThriftCodeGen inside VS, the resulting C# code should only define
HostInfo for this file */
struct HostInfo {
1: HostType type,
2: string desc, /* a descriptive string about the OS */
3: string name, /* the name of the host */
4: string implang /* language client is implemented in */
}
File 2:
namespace csharp CodeGenMultiFileIncludeTest
/* When using ThriftCodeGen inside VS, the resulting C# code should only define
HostType for this file */
enum HostType {
WINDOWS = 1,
LINUX = 2
}
Compiler output when I compile the second file - it works fine:
C:\temp>thrift --gen csharp -v CodeGenTest2.thrift
Scanning /cygdrive/c/temp/CodeGenTest2.thrift for includes
Parsing /cygdrive/c/temp/CodeGenTest2.thrift for types
Program: /cygdrive/c/temp/CodeGenTest2.thrift
Generating "csharp"
Compiler output when I compile the first file which includes the second file -
it fails!
C:\temp>thrift --gen csharp -v CodeGenTest1.thrift
Scanning /cygdrive/c/temp/CodeGenTest1.thrift for includes
Scanning /cygdrive/c/temp/CodeGenTest2.thrift for includes

Parsing /cygdrive/c/temp/CodeGenTest1.thrift for types
[ERROR:/cygdrive/c/temp/CodeGenTest1.thrift:8] (last token was 'HostType')
Type "HostType" has not been defined.
Thanks for any help... I'll dig into the generator code if I need to.
