             Summary: Enumerated types expressed as int, not "typedef"-ed, in objective-c compilation
                 Key: THRIFT-2561
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2561
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Cocoa - Compiler
            Reporter: Phil Eaton
            Priority: Minor


When an enumerated type is translated to objective-c, the type is replaced with simply "int". This takes away half the use of an enumerated type as a type. It is more useful to see "PersonID" for instance as a field type in a method than "int". However, the objective-c compiler does not typedef the enum and as a result essentially forgets the type that is declared in the thrift IDL.
