-----------------------------------

             Summary: Swift issues
                 Key: THRIFT-5125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5125
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Swift - Compiler, Swift - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.14.0
            Reporter: Jano Svitok


TL;DR: Swift server does not work using present code.

 

I'm writing thrift server in swift running on iOS. For reference, I'm using SocketServer, MultiplexedProcessor with BinaryProtocol over FramedTransport. Client is in Java, and we already have Java server running on Android.

Note that I'm new to swift, iOS and Apple world, so I may not understand everything.

 

During development I've found these issues:

 
 # _TSocketServer.init()_: Conversion of port: Int to sin_port: in_port_t (that is UInt16) fails with "... _is not representable as_...". UInt16(truncatingIfNeeded:).bigEndian is needed instead of port.bigEndian
 # [https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/swift/Sources/TSocketServer.swift#L85] tries to deallocate _address,_ due to _nil_ deallocator, equivalent to _kCFAllocatorDefault_. Proper deallocator seems to be _kCFAllocatorNone_.
 # According to [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsfilehandle/1413309-acceptconnectioninbackgroundandn?language=objc] (see last paragraph), _socketFileHandle.acceptConnectionInBackgroundAndNotify()_ should be called again at the end of _TSocketServer.connectionAccepted()_. Old cocoa code does it.
 # _TSocketServer.connectionAccepted()_ tries to read from the listening socket instead of client socket, resulting in "Socket not connected" error. Client socket handle is in _notification.userInfo[NSFileHandleNotificationFileHandleItem]_
 # TSocketServer.handleClientConnection handles only one message. Loop is missing around _try processor.process()_. I.e. _while true \{ try processor.process }_
 # It is not possible to pass _TFramedTransport_ to _TSocketServer_
 # _TSocketServer.serviceHandle_ is not used anymore
 # _TFramedTransport.flush_ is not called anywhere; therefore, the message is never sent. _outProtocol.transport.flush_ should be added to generated processors after _outProtocol.writeMessageEnd_, and also after writeException.
 # _TFramedTransport.remainingBytes_ are not reset anywhere, thus the header of second and further messages are not processed properly

 

I will create pull request after I clean up my patches.
