# Welcome to `include/grpcpp/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`. It is possible that we may |
|
remove this directory altogether if the motivations for its existence are no |
|
longer strong enough (e.g., if most users migrate away from the `proto_library` |
|
target type or if the additional overhead of depending on gRPC C++ is not high).
