Hi Taras,
you may be right regarding the grammar definition. A few days ago I tried to
use the Thrift grammar for some other purpose but ended up comparing
Lexx/Yacc code/grammar against the web site grammar, correcting and changing
to get it useable for what I planned to do with it. The reason may be that a
good part of that formal grammar is not really existing as a grammar,
instead only exist as logic cast into C++ code. So there are differences,
and there are things that are not expressed in the gramar (especially
annotations are missing at a number of places in the grammar).
If you should open a JIRA ... I'd say yes, simply because it is not
completely correct as it is today.
Regarding your original question: Yes, it works and things like the
following are possible (and thanks to your question I've spotted a minor bug
in the Delphi codegenerator):
struct Details
{
1: optional double a
2: optional byte b
3: optional string c
}
typedef Details Details2
typedef list<Details> Detlist
service foobar {
void DoIt( 1 : Details2 somedata; 2: Detlist somelist)
}
Can't tell anything about the IntelliJ IDEA plugin. Chances are, that there
are some incompatibilities, especially if they use a modified grammar.
Have fun,
JensG

Subject: Re: Using struct types in typedef
In that case, is the grammar definition [1] incomplete, and should I file a
JIRA bug for that? Or am I misinterpreting the definition of DefinitionType?
I'm asking since the IntelliJ Thrift plugin [2], which is based on an
adapted version of that grammar, marks such constructs as invalid.
Cheers,

Betreff: Using struct types in typedef
Hi,
Can I refer to a struct type in a typedef?
The grammar at http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/ does not seem to clear
on
this.
Thanks,
