[jira] [Comment Edited] (THRIFT-2580) better COM-ability for
generated Delphi interfaces
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2580?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14232304#comment-14232304 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------
Implemented "good enough" v4 UUID algorithm according to [RFC 4122|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122], since otherwise [boost 1.42.0|http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/uuid/uuid.html] or better would be required to build the compiler.
Feedback/comments highly appreciated.
EDIT: Nice try. Removed the patch. :-(

> Key: THRIFT-2580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2580
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Delphi - Compiler
> Reporter: Jens Geyer
> Assignee: Jens Geyer
> Fix For: 0.9.3
>
>
> Consists of two major points:
> * reintegrate UUID generation code to add IIDs to generated interfaces.
> * optionally generate WideString instead of String
> Currently, generated interfaces do not have an IID assigned. Although not absolutely necessary, having a IID assigned is considered good practice and makes certain things possible which are not possible without an IID assigned, like cross-module usage.
> Same is true for {{WideString}} (Delphi-equivalent of BSTR), which can be directly used cross-module, while standard Delphi {{String}} cannot. However, {{String}} is far more efficient compared to {{WideString}}, thus {{String}} shall remain the default, and the {{WideString}} usage is *only* to be enabled via Thrift compiler switch.
> -Needs to check, if the boost version available at compiler build time supports this.-
