Is there a way to assign alternate names to enumeration values? I have a piece of C++ code that processes protocol buffer messages which have a lot of enums in them, and I need to print out the contents in a user- friendly, readable way.
I know that I can get the enum value name by doing something like: pb::constants::EnumName_descriptor()->FindValueByNumber()->name() But if my enum value name is "DEVICE_CATEGORY_TABLET", I would rather output something like "Tablet". I can make a bunch of big maps of enum values to strings in my C++ code, but this means that any time I change the protocol buffers I need to update the C++ code. If there is no "alternate name" available, is there perhaps a better way to approach this where I don't have to make updates in two places for every change?
