This involved fixing a few important bugs in the
Ruby implementation -- mostly cases of mixing
upb field types and descriptor types (upb field
types do not distinguish between int/sint/fixed/sfixed
like descriptor types do).
Also added protobuf-specific exceptions so parse
errors can be caught specifically.
Change-Id: Ib49d3db976900b2c6f3455c8b88af52cfb86e036
* make consistent between mri and jruby
* create a #to_h and have it use symbols for keys
* add #to_json and #to_proto helpers on the Google::Protobuf message classes
starting to make `RepeatedField` quack like an array
additional changes:
* make sure gemspec gets all ruby code files
* add homepage in gem spec removes one of the warnings, and the gem spec authors are pushing
everyone to include a homepage in the gem
* remove excess whitespace in test suite to bring formatting inline with the rest of the file
system. The Ruby module build now uses an amalgamated distribution of
upb, and successfully builds a Ruby gem called 'google-protobuf' with
module 'google/protobuf'.
This adds a Ruby extension in ruby/ that is based on the 'upb' library
(now included as a submodule), and adds support for Ruby code generation
to the protoc compiler.
General
* License changed from Apache 2.0 to New BSD.
* It is now possible to define custom "options", which are basically
annotations which may be placed on definitions in a .proto file.
For example, you might define a field option called "foo" like so:
import "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto"
extend google.protobuf.FieldOptions {
optional string foo = 12345;
}
Then you annotate a field using the "foo" option:
message MyMessage {
optional int32 some_field = 1 [(foo) = "bar"]
}
The value of this option is then visible via the message's
Descriptor:
const FieldDescriptor* field =
MyMessage::descriptor()->FindFieldByName("some_field");
assert(field->options().GetExtension(foo) == "bar");
This feature has been implemented and tested in C++ and Java.
Other languages may or may not need to do extra work to support
custom options, depending on how they construct descriptors.
C++
* Fixed some GCC warnings that only occur when using -pedantic.
* Improved static initialization code, making ordering more
predictable among other things.
* TextFormat will no longer accept messages which contain multiple
instances of a singular field. Previously, the latter instance
would overwrite the former.
* Now works on systems that don't have hash_map.
Python
* Strings now use the "unicode" type rather than the "str" type.
String fields may still be assigned ASCII "str" values; they will
automatically be converted.
* Adding a property to an object representing a repeated field now
raises an exception. For example:
# No longer works (and never should have).
message.some_repeated_field.foo = 1
