Hi -- I have a C++ library which sends protobuf messages over the network and I'd like to provide a C# wrapper that allows the client application the ability to generate a protobuf, pass it to native code and have the native code consume it directly.
Is the C# 'at rest' representation of a protobuf message compatible with a C++ layout of the same message? That is, if I've created C# code that built a protobuf message, can I directly pass it somehow to C++ as a protobuf (if I could get the raw byte pointer to the message), or do I have to first serialize it to a buffer, pass the serialized buffer to C++ then deserialize it in C++? I'd really like to avoid the deserialization/serialization on either side of the C#/C++ boundary for performance. Thanks for any information or pointers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
