Default value for optional boolean

[Nevo Hed <nh...@bamboom.com>]

Hi Folks

What the correct way to specify a default value for an optional boolean?

I tried 'true' and 'false' but got errors:

struct AtscStrmRecordRequestT {
    1: optional bool bDoSomething = true,
    2: required string whatever;
}


$ /opt/thrift-0.6.0/compiler/cpp/thrift --gen cpp /rtmp/x.thrift
[ERROR:/rtmp/x.thrift:2] (last token was 'true')
Cannot use reserved language keyword: "true"


Thanks!

I started to take a look at this.  Boy, thrift sure reserves a lot of 
words for later use :)

Pretty sure it's "1" for true, "0" for false. Ugly, I know. I'd be open to
applying a patch to fix this, if you wanted to submit one. I'd appreciate a
ticket in any case.
