[jira] [Updated] (THRIFT-2561) Enumerated types expressed as int, not "typedef"-ed, in objective-c compilation

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2561?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Phil Eaton updated THRIFT-2561:
-------------------------------

    Description: 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. For instance, it is both clearer and a more precise translation to see "PersonID" 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.  (was: 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".
