[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-2790) thrift -gen all => an option to generate all languages and features

["James E. King III (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2790?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16745461#comment-16745461 ] 

James E. King III commented on THRIFT-2790:
-------------------------------------------

I would still like to see this option - although it would only allow for the "standard" language-specific options, but I see the use cases it would solve:

1. Will my thrift file work with future languages my project(s) start using?
2. Am I using any keywords that are invalid across any language?

It sounds like given the difference between "js" and "nodejs" is a compiler flag, this won't actually generate all... so what do we want to do with it?

> I would like to have a *thrift -gen all* option to generate everything we have in one step. This would allow proper testing of all compiler changes by using  test/ThriftTest.thrift. An optional make check target could compare different versions based on their git hash or to previous gen-all.backup folder.
