Thanks a lot for the reply. I understood that part. Currently in the .proto file, there is a string definition which gets translated to std::string. What we actually need is a typedef which can be configured as per the end user wish, before building the protobuf. But can i get some assistance on how to implement the same.
Thanks, Gokul.
