[odb-users] Compatibility with Third Party Middleware (Apache Thrift)

[Szumowski, Thomas]

Hi Boris,

No problem. Thank you for looking into the issue. I attached the ODBTest.i in the same usual form (.zip.allow remove the "allow" suffix).

And yes you are correct, Thrift is a bit tricky to get working with Windows. I followed the patches from the Apache THRIFT-1123 tracker report at:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1123

Good to know ODB is working fine given all of Thrift's specificities and dependencies. 

Let me know if you need any more files or information.

-Tom

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.
