Hi, first, your example shows a method whoe name starts with "get". That does not imply that this is a getter, it's just a method like any other method.
There is no option in the IDL syntax, since it is language agnostic. Available options special to c++ are these cpp (C++): cob_style: Generate "Continuation OBject"-style classes. no_client_completion: Omit calls to completion__() in CobClient class. no_default_operators: Omits generation of default operators ==, != and < templates: Generate templatized reader/writer methods. pure_enums: Generate pure enums instead of wrapper classes. include_prefix: Use full include paths in generated files. moveable_types: Generate move constructors and assignment operators. no_ostream_operators: Omit generation of ostream definitions. no_skeleton: Omits generation of skeleton. In addition, there's the possibility to specify annotations in the IDL: - cpp.customostream ... prevents emitting implementations for operator << - cpp.type ..... override C++ type name - final ...... adds noexcept to DTORs So I would say no, not possible. You will have to patch the compiler yourself to achive that. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Gianni Ambrosio Sent: Monday, February 10, 2020 4:23 PM To: user@thrift.apache.org Subject: const method Dear All, is it possible to write a .thrift file so that c++ generared getter methods are const? Example: myservice.thrift service MyService { string getName(1: i32 id), MyService.h class MyServiceClient : virtual public MyServiceIf { void getName(std::string& _return, const int32_t id) const; Regards, Gianni
