Comment #1 on issue 660 by xiaof...@google.com: PrintFieldValue() fails if
the enumvalue is valid.
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=660
Protobuf provides backward compatibility for wire format, not that we'll
tolerant arbitrary invalid values thrown to protobuf API.
Here is what we guaranteed for compatibility: If an old server parses data
produced by a new client and the data contains enum values that are unknown
to the server, parsing will succeed and these unknown enum values will be
stored as unknown fields so the actual data is preserved but just that the
server will see that enum field as not set. This way old server will be
able to work with new data and we can guarantee all enum values you read
from protobuf messages to be valid.
