[jira] [Updated] (THRIFT-1712) Add TBase class for c++

["Martin Vogt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1712?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Martin Vogt updated THRIFT-1712:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: 011_base_struct_rest_140302v1.patch
                010_base_struct_gen_140302v1.patch

This updates the patch. I'm asking myself if the "id" string is necessary, or if this can be accomplished with typeid too.

> The generated c++ classes for struct's do not have a common base class.
> The patch adds a "base_struct" option to the compiler:
> - thrift --gen cpp:base_struct
> this will use a TBaseStruct in the thrift installation.
> Another option allows to replace the baseclass with an arbitrary one:
> -thrift --gen cpp:base_struct=MyBase,base_struct_inc=\\</path/MyBase.h\\>\n"
> With this it's possible to extend the TBaseStruct class in the thrift installation.
> I like to use this TBase class in QT, as a signal, for example:
> {quote}
> signals:
>        void update(const TBase& tBase);
> {quote}
> And in the receiver slot I then can check which kind of message was send:
> {quote}
>     // compare static pointers
>     if (tBase.ascii_fingerprint == User::ascii_fingerprint) \{
>             User* user=(User*)&tBase;
>             processUserMessage(user);
>    \}
> {quote}
