[jira] Updated: (THRIFT-514) Add option to configure compiler output directory

["Mike Heffner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-514?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mike Heffner updated THRIFT-514:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: thrift_514_gendir.diff

The attached diff adds the ability to specify a "gendir" option with each generator. For example, for Ruby:

 --gen rb:gendir=foobar

will use the Ruby generator and dump to the directory "foobar" (located under the -o <dir> if specified).

The directory can be specified per-generator allowing a different directory to be specified for each. If you specify the directory as ".", it will dump to CWD or the -o directory.

The patch also pushes the directory setting code to the t_generator class.

It will error if the gendir contains a "/". Not sure if that is useful for not.

Documentation has not been updated yet, will do if others find this approach useful.

> I would like to change the output directory the compiler uses. For example, compiling to Python uses "gen-py" as the output directory and there is currently no option to change that. Suggest adding an option to specify the output directory. This can alleviate some issues when integrating auto-generation into Makefile build infrastructures.
> Suggestions from Michael Greene on thrift-dev@:
> Mike, If you're feeling adventurous, you can change it in your own
> copy--each of the generators supplies its own output directory name.
> For example, see the assignment out_dir_base_ = "gen-py"; in the
> constructor of
> http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/trunk/compiler/cpp/src/generate/t_py_generator.cc
