Jens Geyer created THRIFT-6061:
----------------------------------
Summary: Capability for recursive structs missing
Key: THRIFT-6061
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-6061
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: D - Compiler
Reporter: Jens Geyer
Today the D code generation is not possible with recursive structures.
For example test/Recursive.thrift it would produce code like
{code}
struct CoRec {
CoRec2 other;
}
struct CoRec2 {
CoRec other;
}
void main()
{
}
{code}
Which gives
{code}
onlineapp.d(6): Error: struct `onlineapp.CoRec` no size because of forward
reference
CoRec other;
^
{code}
Reason is that D uses structs which (in most/all languages) are embedded and
thus donot allow such constructs. Unfortunately thne D compiler does not offer
any option to switch to classes instead nmor to circumvent the issue in otehr
ways.
