…dentifier Client: go Without a namespace go, the Go generator named the package after the IDL file, so a file name containing a hyphen, such as Apache Accumulo's compaction-coordinator.thrift, gave a package name that does not compile. The generator now replaces characters that a Go identifier cannot hold with '_', keeping '.', which separates nested packages. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Without a
namespace go, the Go package is named after the IDL file; characters a Go identifier cannot hold, such as-, now become_, and.still separates nested packages. lib/go/test gains Hyphenated-Name.thrift, built together with its-remotestub.Verified:
make -C lib/go check,make -C test/go checkandmake distpass; Apache Accumulo's compaction-coordinator.thrift now generates packagecompaction_coordinator, which builds.
