The previous two methods make it easy to transform between any and normal message.
unPackeTo will throw error if the type url in any doesn't match the type of the message to be transformed to.
is checks any's type url matches the give GPBMessage type.
bash-only features, and /bin/sh is not a symlink to bash on all systems.
* If an input file is a Windows absolute path (e.g. "C:\foo\bar.proto") and
the import path only contains "." (or contains "." but does not contain
the file), protoc incorrectly thought that the file was under ".", because
it thought that the path was relative (since it didn't start with a slash).
This has been fixed.
protoc
- New flags --encode and --decode can be used to convert between protobuf text
format and binary format from the command-line.
- New flag --descriptor_set_out can be used to write FileDescriptorProtos for
all parsed files directly into a single output file. This is particularly
useful if you wish to parse .proto files from programs written in languages
other than C++: just run protoc as a background process and have it output
a FileDescriptorList, then parse that natively.
C++
- Reflection objects are now per-class rather than per-instance. To make this
possible, the Reflection interface had to be changed such that all methods
take the Message instance as a parameter. This change improves performance
significantly in memory-bandwidth-limited use cases, since it makes the
message objects smaller. Note that source-incompatible interface changes
like this will not be made again after the library leaves beta.
Python
- MergeFrom(message) and CopyFrom(message) are now implemented.
- SerializeToString() raises an exception if the message is missing required
fields.
- Code organization improvements.
- Fixed doc comments for RpcController and RpcChannel, which had somehow been
swapped.
