Hi Cocoa users,
You might be waiting for support of ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) which is
default in iOS 5.
There is a patch for 0.8.0-dev in the following page. Please merge it.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1340
If you want to use it now, check out the latest source code from the trunk of
SVN repository then apply the patch.
I recommend to do "Add files" to import runtime library from "lib/cocoa/src"
into your project instead of making a static library from the library. Don't
forget to set "Always Search User Paths" to YES in Build Settings.
* What is the patch?
- Works for iOS and MacOS.
- The runtime and generated code are compatible with both ARC compilation mode
and non-ARC compilation mode.
If you want to know how I realize the compatibility, look into
lib/cocoa/src/TObjective-C.h
- Initialization of struct/exception/map/list/set with defalut values is
implemented.
- Now it generates much better code for initializing constants. The current
thrift compiler generates buggy code.
I needed to fix the problems of initialization so as to support ARC. I
confirmed that the all generated code from test/*.thrift pass code analyzer and
can be compiled without warning. However, I didn't run the test suite because
Cocoa lacks test cases.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Life is beautiful and full of surprises.
