For C++, to determine the output name, just replace ".proto" with ".pb.h" or ".pb.cc".
You have to make sure that you run the C++ code generator at the same time as your plugin. --cpp_out must appear first on the command line, e.g.: # CORRECT protoc --cpp_out=outdir --myplugin_out=outdir # WRONG protoc --myplugin_out=outdir --cpp_out=outdir # wrong order protoc --myplugin_out=outdir # missing --cpp_out protoc --cpp_out=outdir --myplugin_out=outdir2 # output directories don't match On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 9:29 AM, marcmo <oliver.muel...@gmail.com> wrote: > jason, thanks for the response. > for the stuff that i needed i found everything and the plugin stuff > works great (i use it to generate a custom rpc implementation of the > lite version that is suited for our embedded environment) > insertion points where not needed so i almost forgot about that. today > a got around to try this again. > while the code that you point to is a nice illustration of how you can > use insertion points, is still haven't figured out how to correctly > point my plugin to the file that it should insert the code into.
