Hi John, `capnp::SchemaParser` will parse capnp files and give you a `capnp::ParsedSchema`, which is like `capnp::Schema` but also has the `getNested()` method which allows you to traverse the whole tree of child nodes. So it's not just the root node.
That said, it's true that it's not super-convenient to construct a `CodeGeneratorRequest` from this. You would need to traverse the tree and flatten it into a list, which is easy enough, but filling in `requestedFiles` (especially `imports`) might be tricky. Out of curiosity, why do you need to construct a `CodeGeneratorRequest`? -Kenton On Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 6:15 PM John Demme <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all- > > I've spent a lot of time digging around the CapnProto C++ code base, but I > can't figure how to point a function to a textual capnp schema and get out > the CodeGenRequest.
