Hi -
Is there any plan to merge ctype into the open source protobuf
library? If so, how would it work?
Ideally I'd be able to supply any datatype for a field to pack/unpack
directly rather than the standard double/int/RepeatedField<>/Message.
For instance, on my project we still have a glaring need for a matrix
datatype. "packed=true" helps enormously. Now, serialization-wise, a
message Matrix { optional int32 rows = 1; optional int32 cols = 2;
repeated double values = 3 [packed=true]; } is fine. But, if I could
somehow slip my datatype in there, we'd have everything we needed,
like so:
message MyMessage {
optional Matrix m = 1 [ctype=BOOST_MATRIX];
}
Is using ctype not only for fields but for Message datatypes under
consideration?
Thanks,.
Scott
