Comment #2 on issue 179 by [email protected]: Visual C++ error C1091 when
compiling protoc generated code with over 64k descriptor
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=179
This proves complicated to fix, because we have lots of code that passes
around this blob as a pointer and a size. We'd have to update all that
code to pass around a pointer to a more complex data structure which might
contain multiple segments. Any fix would have to be used with all
compilers, even ones which don't have this limitation.
Your example is a 10MB source file. I don't think we care to support 10MB
source files. Realistically, if a file is so big that its descriptor is
over 64k, the best solution may be to simply split up the file. If you are
stuffing an excessive amount of information in custom options, it may be
time to consider a different format for that information.
I'd like to see more demand before we put effort into fixing this.
