[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1133) Build failing with Visual Studio C++
2008 due to missing stdint.h
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1133?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13421132#comment-13421132 ]
Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-1133:
-------------------------------------------
We have to make a tradeoff here. The boost solution is better because we already depend on boost and no new dependency gets added. But all references to int8_t etc should now become boost::int8_t, which doesn't look nice.
On the other hand, the changes are minimal with msinttypes, but we need to copy the code from google code.
My preference is for the latter.
Is it possible for you submit a patch after verifying that it works with VS 2008?

> Key: AVRO-1133
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1133
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c++
> Affects Versions: 1.7.1
> Environment: Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1
> Reporter: Laurent Moss
>
> Several Avro C++ API files refer to stdint.h. However, this file is not available on Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (and previous versions). This results in several build errors such as:
> C:\workspace\avro-cpp\api\Validator.hh(24) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdint.h': No such file or directory
> This is similar to an issue previously faced by the Avro C API:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-551
> This was issue was fixed in the Avro C API by integrating open-source ISO C9x compliant stdint.h and inttypes.h files for Microsoft Visual Studio:
> https://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/
> An alternative for the Avro C++ API would be to replace references to stdint.h by references to Boost's cstdint.hpp
> http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/boost/cstdint.hpp
