cpp_message

Protocol message implementation hooks for C++ implementation.

Contains helper functions used to create protocol message classes from Descriptor objects at runtime backed by the protocol buffer C++ API.

GeneratedProtocolMessageType

Bases: MessageMeta

Metaclass for protocol message classes created at runtime from Descriptors.

The protocol compiler currently uses this metaclass to create protocol message classes at runtime. Clients can also manually create their own classes at runtime, as in this example:

mydescriptor = Descriptor(.....) factory = symbol_database.Default() factory.pool.AddDescriptor(mydescriptor) MyProtoClass = factory.GetPrototype(mydescriptor) myproto_instance = MyProtoClass() myproto.foo_field = 23 ...

The above example will not work for nested types. If you wish to include them, use reflection.MakeClass() instead of manually instantiating the class in order to create the appropriate class structure.
