* Rosy hack doesn't apply (that test should be removed
for the open-source release).
* Added our own copy of parameterized.py (the open-source
version of Google Apputils doesn't contain it).
* The C++ Descriptor object didn't implement extension_ranges.
* Had to implement a hack around returning EncodeError, to
work around the module-loading behavior of the test runner.
Changes the automake to use tar-ustar for tarbal format, which supports
filenames exceeding 99-chars. Otherwise Nano source files cannot be
distributed.
Change-Id: I33e43148e317374cd46417bebb8559e40fac7299
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.
nested autoconf package rather than as raw source. This way we can
trivially update it again in the future.
Actually, this change doesn't even include gtest in protobuf's SVN.
Instead, we auto-download it when autogen.sh is invoked. Note that
it will be included in release distributions, though.
TODO:
* Add a configure option to use the system's installed gtest rather
than the bundled copy. Apparently the gtest maintainers are working
on some general-purpose autoconf macros which will do this
automagically.
* Update MSVC project files.
All Languages
* Repeated fields of primitive types (types other that string, group, and
nested messages) may now use the option [packed = true] to get a more
efficient encoding. In the new encoding, the entire list is written
as a single byte blob using the "length-delimited" wire type. Within
this blob, the individual values are encoded the same way they would
be normally except without a tag before each value (thus, they are
tightly "packed").
C++
* UnknownFieldSet now supports STL-like iteration.
* Message interface has method ParseFromBoundedZeroCopyStream() which parses
a limited number of bytes from an input stream rather than parsing until
EOF.
Java
* Fixed bug where Message.mergeFrom(Message) failed to merge extensions.
* Message interface has new method toBuilder() which is equivalent to
newBuilderForType().mergeFrom(this).
* All enums now implement the ProtocolMessageEnum interface.
* Setting a field to null now throws NullPointerException.
* Fixed tendency for TextFormat's parsing to overflow the stack when
parsing large string values. The underlying problem is with Java's
regex implementation (which unfortunately uses recursive backtracking
rather than building an NFA). Worked around by making use of possesive
quantifiers.
Python
* Updated RPC interfaces to allow for blocking operation. A client may
now pass None for a callback when making an RPC, in which case the
call will block until the response is received, and the response
object will be returned directly to the caller. This interface change
cannot be used in practice until RPC implementations are updated to
implement it.
protoc
* Enum values may now have custom options, using syntax similar to field
options.
* Fixed bug where .proto files which use custom options but don't actually
define them (i.e. they import another .proto file defining the options)
had to explicitly import descriptor.proto.
* Adjacent string literals in .proto files will now be concatenated, like in
C.
C++
* Generated message classes now have a Swap() method which efficiently swaps
the contents of two objects.
* All message classes now have a SpaceUsed() method which returns an estimate
of the number of bytes of allocated memory currently owned by the object.
This is particularly useful when you are reusing a single message object
to improve performance but want to make sure it doesn't bloat up too large.
* New method Message::SerializeAsString() returns a string containing the
serialized data. May be more convenient than calling
SerializeToString(string*).
* In debug mode, log error messages when string-type fields are found to
contain bytes that are not valid UTF-8.
* Fixed bug where a message with multiple extension ranges couldn't parse
extensions.
* Fixed bug where MergeFrom(const Message&) didn't do anything if invoked on
a message that contained no fields (but possibly contained extensions).
* Fixed ShortDebugString() to not be O(n^2). Durr.
* Fixed crash in TextFormat parsing if the first token in the input caused a
tokenization error.
Java
* New overload of mergeFrom() which parses a slice of a byte array instead
of the whole thing.
* New method ByteString.asReadOnlyByteBuffer() does what it sounds like.
* Improved performance of isInitialized() when optimizing for code size.
Python
* Corrected ListFields() signature in Message base class to match what
subclasses actually implement.
* Some minor refactoring.
