Implement Maps for scalar types for the C++ kernel This CL implements Maps for scalar types for the C++ runtime. It's orthogonal to cl/580453646. This CL is constrained by having to force template instantiation of proto2::Map<K, V>. Put differently, a Rust protobuf::Map<K, V> implementation needs to call 'extern "C"' functions with both key and value type in the function name (e.g. __pb_rust_Map_i32_f64_get()). We use macros to generate a Map implementation for every (K,V)-pair. An alternative would have been to use vtables. Luckily a key in a protobuf map can only be integer types, bool and string. So the number of key types is bounded by the specification, while the number of value types is not i.e. any protobuf message can be a value in a map. Given these constraints we introduce one 'MapKeyOps' trait per key type e.g. MapKeyBOOLOps or MapKeyI32Ops. These traits need to be implemented for every value type e.g. 'impl MapKeyBOOLOps for i32' will implement 'Map::<bool, i32>'. In particular the MapKeyOps traits can also be implemented for generated messages without violating the orphan rule. This CL also contains significant changes to the UPB runtime so that both upb.rs and cpp.rs export a similar interface to simplify the implementation in map.rs and the generated code. This CL does not yet implement the Proxied trait. PiperOrigin-RevId: 582951914

Protocol Buffers (a.k.a., protobuf) are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. You can learn more about it in protobuf's documentation.
This README file contains protobuf installation instructions. To install protobuf, you need to install the protocol compiler (used to compile .proto files) and the protobuf runtime for your chosen programming language.
The protobuf compiler is written in C++. If you are using C++, please follow the C++ Installation Instructions to install protoc along with the C++ runtime.
For non-C++ users, the simplest way to install the protocol compiler is to download a pre-built binary from our GitHub release page.
In the downloads section of each release, you can find pre-built binaries in zip packages: protoc-$VERSION-$PLATFORM.zip
. It contains the protoc binary as well as a set of standard .proto
files distributed along with protobuf.
If you are looking for an old version that is not available in the release page, check out the Maven repository.
These pre-built binaries are only provided for released versions. If you want to use the github main version at HEAD, or you need to modify protobuf code, or you are using C++, it's recommended to build your own protoc binary from source.
If you would like to build protoc binary from source, see the C++ Installation Instructions.
Protobuf supports several different programming languages. For each programming language, you can find instructions in the corresponding source directory about how to install protobuf runtime for that specific language:
Language | Source |
---|---|
C++ (include C++ runtime and protoc) | src |
Java | java |
Python | python |
Objective-C | objectivec |
C# | csharp |
Ruby | ruby |
Go | protocolbuffers/protobuf-go |
PHP | php |
Dart | dart-lang/protobuf |
JavaScript | protocolbuffers/protobuf-javascript |
The best way to learn how to use protobuf is to follow the tutorials in our developer guide.
If you want to learn from code examples, take a look at the examples in the examples directory.
The complete documentation is available at the Protocol Buffers doc site.
Read about our version support policy to stay current on support timeframes for the language libraries.
