> I have a service (Golang) with a handler that returns a large slice. A new one is allocated every time, resulting in large heap allocations per client call, while it could be reused through a sync.Pool and improve the overall performance through fewer GC calls.
> (.thrift example)
> struct Slice {
> 	1: required list<Element> element
> }
> service MyService {
> 	Slice GetSlice() throws (...)
> }
> I have experimented with modifying the auto-generated code and got this functionality through adding a 
> (.go) pool.Put(*Slice) // adding the newly generated return value to a pool)
> call in https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/compiler/cpp/src/generate/t_go_generator.cc#L2798 but doing so creates a nasty dependency between the handler and the processor.
> Modifying the signature of the handler should also work 
> (.go) GetSlice(*Slice) (*Slice, error)
> but does breaks all compatibility with previous compilers...
> Has some solution to this problem been explored? 
> If nothing else some optional Release(retval) after oprot.Flush() in https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/compiler/cpp/src/generate/t_go_generator.cc#L2798 would be very helpful
