Rust: remove references to `crate::` from generated code

This is necessary for the generated code to work correctly even when it's
placed in a module instead of directly in the crate root. Now we can finally
delete the last of the gencode post-processing from the protobuf_gencode crate.

To get this to work properly I had to update the `Context` object to keep track
of the current module depth. This way we know how many `super::` prefixes we
need to prepend to an identifier to get back to the top level.

I had to some refactoring of our naming helper functions to get everything
working properly:
 - Deleted `GetCrateRelativeQualifiedPath()`, since it seems simpler if we just
   always provide unambiguous paths. I added some new `RsTypePath()` overloads
   as a replacement.
 - Made `RustModuleForContainingType()` a private implementation detail of
   naming.cc, since the `RustModule()` functions are more user-friendly and
   accomplish the same thing.
 - Moved the logic for prepending super:: or the foreign crate name into
   `RustModuleForContainingType()`. This way, all the helpers that call that
   function automatically pick up the behavior we want.

Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format

OpenSSF Scorecard

Copyright 2023 Google LLC

Overview

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.

Working With Protobuf Source Code

Most users will find working from supported releases to be the easiest path.

If you choose to work from the head revision of the main branch your build will occasionally be broken by source-incompatible changes and insufficiently-tested (and therefore broken) behavior.

If you are using C++ or otherwise need to build protobuf from source as a part of your project, you should pin to a release commit on a release branch.

This is because even release branches can experience some instability in between release commits.

Bazel with Bzlmod

Protobuf supports Bzlmod with Bazel 7 +. Users should specify a dependency on protobuf in their MODULE.bazel file as follows.

bazel_dep(name = "protobuf", version = <VERSION>)

Users can optionally override the repo name, such as for compatibility with WORKSPACE.

bazel_dep(name = "protobuf", version = <VERSION>, repo_name = "com_google_protobuf")

Bazel with WORKSPACE

Users can also add the following to their legacy WORKSPACE file.

Note that the protobuf_extra_deps.bzl is added in the v30.x release.

http_archive(
    name = "com_google_protobuf",
    strip_prefix = "protobuf-VERSION",
    sha256 = ...,
    url = ...,
)

load("@com_google_protobuf//:protobuf_deps.bzl", "protobuf_deps")

protobuf_deps()

load("@com_google_protobuf//:protobuf_extra_deps.bzl", "protobuf_extra_deps")

protobuf_extra_deps();

Protobuf Compiler Installation

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 Runtime Installation

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:

LanguageSource
C++ (include C++ runtime and protoc)src
Javajava
Pythonpython
Objective-Cobjectivec
C#csharp
Rubyruby
Goprotocolbuffers/protobuf-go
PHPphp
Dartdart-lang/protobuf
JavaScriptprotocolbuffers/protobuf-javascript

Quick Start

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.

Documentation

The complete documentation is available at the Protocol Buffers doc site.

Support Policy

Read about our version support policy to stay current on support timeframes for the language libraries.
