Hi folks,
This is my first post, and I'm not sure about the protocol for bug
reporting.
Objective-C generics apparently do not support nesting. E.g., adding this
line to any method:
NSArray<NSArray<NSString *>> *myArray = [NSArray new];
Will result in XCode issuing the error: Type argument 'NSArray<NSString
*>' is neither an Objective-C object nor a block type
The latest Thrift compiler (1.0.0-dev, pulled from head yesterday)
transforms something like this
1: list<list<string>> foo
into an Objective-C declaration like this
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray<NSArray<NSString *>> * foo;
which results in an XCode compile error like the one above.
Until ObjC supports nested generics, I'd guess that the best solution would
be to limit the type conversion recursion to depth 1, yielding something
like so:
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray<NSArray> * foo;
I haven't tested it, but I would assume this problem applies to any nested
collection types.
