It is much easier to install Thrift on a Linux box so I tried that.
In this setup the ODB compiler compiles your test without any problems.

Would you be able to get the preprocessed source for your ODBTest.h
file and send it to me? This way I would be able to try it with the
Windows version of ODB without having to setup Thrift. You can get
the preprocessed source by adding these options to the ODB command
line:

-x -E -x -o -x ODBTest.i

I don't see why merely including some headers should lead to the
ODB compiler breaking. This is definitely something we would want
to fix.

Most likely an ODB compiler bug. Will hopefully find out more with
the preprocessed source.
