Types

Thrift maps the various base and container types to C++ types as follows:

• bool: bool

• binary: std::string

• byte: int8_t

• i16: int16_t

• i32: int32_t

• i64: int64_t

• double: double

• string: std::string

• list<t1>: std::vector<t1>

• set<t1>: std::set<t1>

• map<t1,t2>: std::map<T1, T2>
