Jens GeyerandClaude Opus 5.5 e071ceb822 THRIFT-6441: Link the current Visual C++ Redistributable from the installer and the .NET tool

Client: build

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe serves the Visual Studio
2022 redistributable, 14.44.35211 at the moment, while the WinGet and
Chocolatey packages ask for 14.51 or later (THRIFT-6401): the runtime
has to be at least as new as the build tools the compiler was built
with. Microsoft's permalink to the latest version is
https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe, which serves 14.51.36247. The
installer, the .NET tool's launcher and its README now name that one.

Apache Thrift Compiler

The Apache Thrift IDL compiler, packaged as a .NET tool.

Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently between C++, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa, JavaScript, Node.js, Smalltalk, OCaml, Delphi, Go, Rust, Swift and other languages.

This package contains the code generator, thrift, which turns a .thrift interface definition into client and server code. It does not contain a runtime library; those are published separately, for .NET as ApacheThrift.

Install

dotnet tool install --global Apache.Thrift.Compiler
thrift --version

Or pin it for a repository, so that everyone building it uses the same compiler version:

dotnet new tool-manifest      # once per repository
dotnet tool install Apache.Thrift.Compiler
dotnet tool run thrift --version

Use

thrift --gen netstd -out generated tutorial.thrift

See the tutorial and the Thrift IDL reference.

Requirements

The compiler links the shared C++ runtime, so it needs the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x64), which most Windows machines with development tools already have. If it is missing, thrift reports that and points at https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe.

Platforms

This package carries the Windows build of the compiler. On other platforms it installs, because NuGet does not gate on the operating system, but running it reports that and stops.

For Linux and macOS, see Download - most distributions package Thrift, and Homebrew has it as thrift.

Provenance

The executable in this package is the Windows compiler that the Apache Thrift PMC voted on with the source release of the same version, the thrift-<version>.exe on the Download page. Its checksums and its signature are checked against the project's KEYS before it is packed. The source release is the official artifact, and this package is a convenience package of it.
