[protobuf] Re: Error when trying to compile the exampe proto
There should be a setting somewhere in visual studio to make it not use BOMs. On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 6:10 PM, Tommi Laukkanen < tommi.s.e.laukka...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > Thank you for the information.

[protobuf] Re: Error when trying to compile the exampe proto
(damn, I forgot to reply-all again!)
It is also entirely possible that the two things are unrelated, in which
case: sorry for any confusion.
But I do know that it is painfully easy to get BOM-heavy files if you use
Visual Studio, and that protoc doesn't like it; I can't remember which error
message it displays.
I guess the real thing to do is to look at the file as binary: how does it
start?

[protobuf] Re: Error when trying to compile the exampe proto
Marc points out that your editor is probably placing a UTF-8 BOM at the
beginning of the file. I had assumed this couldn't be the cause because
UTF-8 characters and control characters are different things. However,
looking at the code, there appears to be a bug where if char is signed on
your system, UTF-8 chars will be consider to be control characters (because
they are thus negative and therefore < 0x20). So maybe that is the issue.
I'd be happy to accept a patch which makes protoc ignore UTF-8 BOMs.

[protobuf] Re: Error when trying to compile the exampe proto
The error indicates that the first byte of the file is a non-whitespace
character with ASCII value < 0x20. You need to remove this invalid byte
from the file.
