[jira] [Updated] (THRIFT-1130) Add the ability to specify symbolic default value for optional boolean

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1130?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nevo Hed updated THRIFT-1130:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
When specifying a default value for an optional struct member of the type bool the user now needs to enter a numeric value (0, or 1).  It would be nice if they could specify a symbolic value such as 'true' & 'false'

{quote}
Example thrift file:
struct AtscStrmRecordRequestT {
    1: optional bool bDoSomething = true,
    2: required string whatever;
}
{quote}

With current error
{quote}
$ /opt/thrift-0.6.0/compiler/cpp/thrift --gen cpp /rtmp/x.thrift 
[ERROR:/rtmp/x.thrift:2] (last token was 'true')
Cannot use reserved language keyword: "true"
{quote}
