# Welcome to `impl/codegen` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Why is this directory here? |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory exists so that generated code can include selected files upon |
||||||
|
which it depends without having to depend on the entire gRPC C++ library. This |
||||||
|
is particularly relevant for users of bazel, particularly if they use the |
||||||
|
multi-lingual `proto_library` target type. Generated code that uses this target |
||||||
|
only depends on the gRPC C++ targets associated with these header files, not the |
||||||
|
entire gRPC C++ codebase since that would make the build time of these types of |
||||||
|
targets excessively large (particularly when they are not even C++ specific). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What should user code do? |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
User code should *not* include anything from this directory. Only generated code |
||||||
|
and gRPC library code should include contents from this directory. User code |
||||||
|
should instead include contents from the main `grpcpp` directory or its |
||||||
|
accessible subcomponents like `grpcpp/support`. |
