Hi!
I noticed there hasn't been much discussion here recently. Any status updates?
After using thrift for a year now I very much would like to see a version that uses C++11 and without dependencies to boost.
Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

> instead of adding another set of options to 'old' cpp generator I've started creating new one in:
> https://github.com/hcorg/thrift/tree/cpp_v2
> using old as an reference
> main goals (for generator):
>  * code compatible with old librart (at least for first tests, new lib and compiler switches can be added later)
>  * no more ugly {{__isset}} structure -> boost::optional for optional values
>  * as a result - no more {{__}} in names, which violates C++ standard
>  * all generation code will have own unit tests (TDD used wherever possible)
>  * generated types headers independent from Thrift header, to allow other layers of application using generated types without dependency leaks
>  * each type will generate own header/cpp file - easier for user to include only used parts.
>  * unordered map/sets
>  * returning using move semantics, no more ugly 'return via output parameter' (still possible as option thou - sometimes it's needed for performance)
>  * async client using boost::future
>  * enum classes
>  * initializer lists for constants (maybe)
> main goals (for library):
>  * minimizing boost deps
>  * using C++11 features to simplify lib
>  * be base for new generator
> I'm aiming in C++11 subset available in gcc 4.8 and MSVC 2013
> currently I have only complete enum generation, but work is in progress
> all comments etc are very welcome :)
