Hi,
Can we have a way to suppress emitting explicit accessors for protobuf
message fields during protoc compilation? My server implementation is
auto-generated from a backend component and uses the protobuf reflection
mechanism instead of the explicit accessors. If I can suppress emitting
those explicit accessors, that will reduce my compilation time.
To get a proof-of-concept, I added `option optimize_for = CODE_SIZE;` in
helloworld.proto, re-wrote the SayHello method in greeter_server.cc using
reflection:
auto nameDescriptor = request->GetDescriptor()->FindFieldByName("name");
std::string name = request->GetReflection()->GetString(*request,
nameDescriptor);
auto messageDescriptor = reply->GetDescriptor()->FindFieldByName("message");
reply->GetReflection()->SetString(reply, messageDescriptor, prefix + name);
and then deleted all public accessor definitions from the generated
helloworld.pb.h. The server-side is compiled and is running fine with these
changes.
Regards,
Mainak
