This will allow us to like to specific snippets of code in the
documentation. I plan to create a tutorial similar to the C# tutorial
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/csharptutorial
Since that tutorial has sections for populating a proto, parsing, and
serializing, I made a region for each of these for Go. To make the
populating sample more self-contained, I refactor the listing example
slightly.
This follows the other examples so that it can be used as a tutorial,
such as the ones at:
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/tutorials
Even though Go generally does not use Makefiles, I added targets for the
Go examples to be consistent with the other languages.
Edit:
Fix Travis run. Change to use $HOME instead of ~. Add protoc to path.
GOPATH entry cannot start with shell metacharacter '~': "~/gocode"
Edit(2):
Fix Go code style to address comments.
