>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: C glib - Compiler, C glib - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.3, 1.0
>            Reporter: Matej Kupljen

> If we use a string inside struct definition and set the value to "" (empty string, not NULL) when de-serializing it we get set it NULL and and the same time the __isset field for this value is set to TRUE which is think is not correct. 
> Either we fix the library to return an empty string, or fix the compiler to set the __isset filed to FALSE.
> What would be the best way to solve this?
> Please, let me know if you need any more information.
