             Summary: Generate asynchronous clients for Cocoa
                 Key: THRIFT-3041
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3041
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Cocoa - Compiler, Cocoa - Library
            Reporter: Mike Riley


I've been using thrift on a decent variety of iOS projects for the last ~4 years. Every time I set a new project up, I invariably end up inventing some way to invoke thrift RPC calls via Objective-C block syntax.  I usually end up ripping apart the generated classes by declaring their private methods, and then writing a bunch of boilerplate all so that I can avoid using the provided HTTP client, which makes synchronous requests.

This is a decent stab at letting the generator take care of this problem for me, and everyone else.  It ended up being pretty heavy handed with t_cocoa_generator.cc, but I've spent a while testing this and am pretty confident I managed to avoid breaking anything.  I realize this is a large change, so I've put up the sandbox I was using to test on github if that makes it easier to review.  If you want the tl;dr; about what practical changes this has on generated sources:

I'd welcome feedback or proposed modifications if this approach isn't quite right.
