New issue 285 by [email protected]: Generated C++ operator= to CopyFrom()
to MergeFrom() mishandles bytes fields as strings
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=285
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a field of type 'bytes'
2. Assign it a value "\0\0\0\0abc"
3. Assign to make a copy
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the data "\0\0\0\0abc" to be copied to the destination, but
instead the generated MergeFrom() function treats the field as type string
that copies no data because it's interpreted as an empty string due to the
leading zero using:
set_fieldname(from.fieldname().c_str());
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Protocol Buffers v2.3.0, Windows 7, C++
