Hm, not sure how feasible this is. The code generator emits references to
::std::string. I suppose there might be some hack like adding a typedef of
::std::string to ::protobuf::string in one of the header stubs; then you
could override that (or perhaps use some kind of preprocessor macro,
We don't support this at this time - the primary problem is that specifying
an allocator for C++ string's produces a completely new type. This means
allocators can't simply be injected into a particularly message instance;
instead it would have to be part of the message definition.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I understood that part. Currently in the .proto
file, there is a string definition which gets translated to std::string.
What we actually need is a typedef which can be configured as per the end
user wish, before building the protobuf. But can i get some assistance on
Hi,
In the application, i am working on, we are managing the memory of
strings using allocators. But i find that the protobuf uses strings
without any allocator support. Is there a plan to provide allocator
support for strings in future?
Or can someone guide me on how to go about implementing
