Thanks.
Perhaps I should explain my use case a little better.
I have a proto file which is compiled in, for example known.proto
message KnownMessage
{
// more stuff here
}
I also have another proto file which is not compiled in, for example
unknown.proto
import "known.proto";
message UnknownMessage
{
optional KnownMessage known = 1;
// more stuff here
}
What I am trying to do is reflect on a message of type UnknownMessage
looking for messages of type KnownMessage. If I find a matching field I am
trying to copy out the KnownMessage so I can use the generated classes on
it.
