Inheriting from generated C++ classes for adding Qt QString accessors. Problems expected?

2009-03-09 Thread bart van deenen

Hi all

I'd like to add some Qt specific addditions to some generated gpb
classes, but I note the warning on the first C++ page of the
documentation:

You should not create your own Foo subclasses. If you subclass this
class and override a virtual method, the override may be ignored, as
many generated method calls are de-virtualized to improve performance.


I should be fine as long as I don't use any of the already defined
member names shouldn't I?

Swap() and RemoveLast() should be added to Reflection API

2009-03-09 Thread Scott Stafford

Hi -

I noticed that the functionality for Swap() and RemoveLast() was not
available to reflection.  I needed them and tried to add them in a
branch, and it seemed trivial enough (especially RemoveLast).  Is
there anything that I missed?  Is there a reason that this is more
complex than I can see or was it simply not added yet?

Thanks,

Scott

If you are OK with the possibility that future versions of protocol buffers
may break your code (probably in minor ways), then you can do whatever you
want.  If you aren't OK with that, then you should not subclass protocol
buffer types.  There are tons of ways that future changes to the
implementation could break you.  This is known generally as the fragile
base class problem.

Any protocol buffers MIME types?

2009-03-09 Thread Marc Gravell

As part of ongoing work looking at RPC (over a range of transports),
one thing that keeps cropping up is sending messages via a RESTful API
over http[s] (so the method to invoke it part of the URI, with the
message as the body); pretty trivial to do, but I wonder: is there any
common MIME type that anyone has used for such? Or just application/
octet-stream?

Re: Any protocol buffers MIME types?

2009-03-09 Thread Kenton Varda
We haven't defined a MIME type.
Does it make sense to define a MIME type for protocol buffers in general, as
opposed to MIME types for individual protocols?  The latter makes more sense
to me, since there's not much you can do with a protocol buffer without
knowing its type.
