Re: [protobuf] Feature request: ability to suppress logging of message fields

2011-02-22 Thread Kenton Varda
You can always write custom code that formats messages any way you want for
your logs.  The TextFormat class is based purely on public interfaces, so
you can copy it and modify it.  You can define a custom option for flagging
fields that you want removed from the logs and use that custom option in
your modified TextFormat.

I don't think we want to implement this feature directly in the base
implementation.  There are too many little feature requests like this, and
if we implemented them all the library would get quite bloated.
