[GitHub] thrift pull request #1319: THRIFT-4269: Don't append '.' to Erlang namespace...

GitHub user dhull opened a pull request:

    https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1319

    THRIFT-4269: Don't append '.' to Erlang namespace if it ends in '_'.

    THRIFT-3834 added support for namespaces to the Erlang code generator. However, that support uses a `.` between the namespace name and the type name.  This is inconvenient because, although `.` is a valid character in an Erlang atom, atoms that contain `.` must be quoted.  This means that a struct named MyStruct in the namespace NS will generate a record named `'NS.MyStruct'`.  The rules for naming atoms in Erlang are:
    
    > Atoms begin with a lower-case letter, and may contain alphanumeric characters, underscores (_) or at-signs (@). Alternatively atoms can be specified by enclosing them in single quotes ('), necessary when they start with an uppercase character or contain characters other than underscores and at-signs.
    
    This pull request changes the Erlang code generator so that if an Erlang namespace ends in a `_` then no `.` is added between the namespace and the struct name when creating the record. This preserves the current behavior unless the namespace ends is a `_`, but allow users to override the normal behavior by adding an explicit `_` to the end of their namespace declarations.

    THRIFT-4269: Don't append '.' to Erlang namespace if it ends in '_'.
    
    THRIFT-3834 added support for namespaces to the Erlang code
    generator. However, that support uses a '.' between the namespace name
    and the type name.  This is inconvenient because, although '.' is a
    valid character in an Erlang atom, atoms that contain '.' must be
    quoted.  This means that a struct named MyStruct in the namespace NS
    will generate a record named 'NS.MyStruct'.  The rules for naming
    atoms in Erlang are:
    
        Atoms begin with a lower-case letter, and may contain alphanumeric
        characters, underscores (_) or at-signs (@). Alternatively atoms
        can be specified by enclosing them in single quotes ('), necessary
        when they start with an uppercase character or contain characters
        other than underscores and at-signs.
    
    This commit changes the Erlang code generator so that if an Erlang
    namespace ends in a '_' then no '.' is added between the namespace and
    the struct name when creating the record. This preserves the current
    behavior unless the namespace ends is a '_', but allow users to
    override the normal behavior by adding an explicit '_' to the end of
    their namespace declarations.

    I agree with the rationale behind the change and the code looks fine.  It seems like the CI failures were related to client pools and not this code.  I would say this should be merged.
