Hello, I am exploring protobuf to use it in my project.
I would like to have a message defined in a .proto file. All the fields in this message would be "optional" due to the fact that the message producer in my project context would set just a subset of fields. Can someone please clarify 1. Is there a way to figure out just the fields that are being set in the message? I would require this after my message is deserialized. 2. does field_count() always return the total number of fields defined in the message in .proto? 3. Is Reflection the only option to set fields directly/indirectly via field numbers?
