Hello, we have GRPC interface inside a proprietary Linux dynamic library *.so in C++ which is loaded and unloaded in main process at runtime. When we unload the library and try to load it again, we get the below error.
[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/descriptor_database.cc:57] File already exists in database: my_interface.proto [libprotobuf FATAL google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:1314] CHECK failed: generated_database_->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size): To clean all internal static objects in protobuf library, we probably need void protobuf::ShutdownProtobufLibrary() But the documentation says: "However, it is not safe to use any other part of the protocol buffers library after ShutdownProtobufLibrary() <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/cpp/google.protobuf.common#ShutdownProtobufLibrary> has been called." So this does not work completely, i.e. allow register and run services again... It looks like a programmer got tired of solving all the involved problems so it ended half-way? Why "it is not safe", what is missing? Any workaround suggested? Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "grpc.io" group.
