[protobuf] compound message allows colon

[naderp]

Hi,

Given the following .proto definition:

message person {
   required string name = 1;
   required int32 id = 2;
}

I noticed the following message syntax is valid:

person: {
   name: fred
   id: 3
}

i.e., the generated parser will quite happily accept a colon after the
compound message name (person: in this case).

Is this a bug or a feature?

Cheers

[protobuf] Visual Studio Visualizer for Repeated Messages

[naderp]

Hi

Back in 2.0.3 I was able to visualise repeated messages under the VS C+
+ 2008 debugger. In 2.2.0 they are no longer inspectable.

Can anyone shed any light on this or maybe submit a visualiser?

Thanks

Message type scope resolution

[naderp]

Hi,

Does the protocol buffer language have a mechanism for resolving types
across scopes. Eg, given

message foo {
message X {}

message bar {
message X{}

message abc {
message foo:X--- This is not legal, but how
do you do it?

}
}
}

Thanks.
