Re: [protobuf] compound message allows colon

2011-02-22 Thread Kenton Varda
It's a feature.  This has always been allowed.  No one really knows why.

 Hi,

 Given the following .proto definition:

 message person {
   required string name = 1;
   required int32 id = 2;
 }

 I noticed the following message syntax is valid:

 person: {
   name: fred
   id: 3
 }

 i.e., the generated parser will quite happily accept a colon after the
 compound message name (person: in this case).

 Is this a bug or a feature?

 Cheers
