descriptor.h | Protocol Buffers Documentation

descriptor.h

This section contains reference documentation for working with protocol buffer classes in C++.

#include <google/protobuf/descriptor.h>
namespace google::protobuf

This file contains classes which describe a type of protocol message.

You can use a message's descriptor to learn at runtime what fields it contains and what the types of those fields are. The Message interface also allows you to dynamically access and modify individual fields by passing the FieldDescriptor of the field you are interested in.

Most users will not care about descriptors, because they will write code specific to certain protocol types and will simply use the classes generated by the protocol compiler directly. Advanced users who want to operate on arbitrary types (not known at compile time) may want to read descriptors in order to learn about the contents of a message. A very small number of users will want to construct their own Descriptors, either because they are implementing Message manually or because they are writing something like the protocol compiler.

For an example of how you might use descriptors, see the code example at the top of message.h.

struct SourceLocation

#include <google/protobuf/descriptor.h>
namespace google::protobuf

NB, all indices are zero-based.

Members int

start_line

int

end_line

int

start_column

int

end_column

std::string std::string std::vector< std::string >

Doc comments found at the source location.

See the comments in SourceCodeInfo.Location (descriptor.proto) for details.

struct DebugStringOptions

#include <google/protobuf/descriptor.h>
namespace google::protobuf

Options when generating machine-parsable output from a descriptor with DebugString().

Members bool bool

elide_group_body

If true, elide the braced body in the debug string.

bool

elide_oneof_body

DebugStringOptions()

include original user comments as recorded in SourceLocation entries.

N.B. that this must be |false| by default: several other pieces of code (for example, the C++ code generation for fields in the proto compiler) rely on DebugString() output being unobstructed by user comments.

class Descriptor

#include <google/protobuf/descriptor.h>
namespace google::protobuf

Describes a type of protocol message, or a particular group within a message.

To obtain the Descriptor for a given message object, call Message::GetDescriptor(). Generated message classes also have a static method called descriptor() which returns the type's descriptor. Use DescriptorPool to construct your own descriptors.

const std::string &
    Descriptor::full_name() const

The fully-qualified name of the message type, scope delimited by periods.

For example, message type "Foo" which is declared in package "bar" has full name "bar.Foo". If a type "Baz" is nested within Foo, Baz's full_name is "bar.Foo.Baz". To get only the part that comes after the last '.', use name().

const Descriptor *
    Descriptor::containing_type() const

If this Descriptor describes a nested type, this returns the type in which it is nested.

Otherwise, returns nullptr.

const MessageOptions &
    Descriptor::options() const

Get options for this message type.

These are specified in the .proto file by placing lines like "option foo = 1234;" in the message definition. Allowed options are defined by MessageOptions in descriptor.proto, and any available extensions of that message.

void Descriptor::CopyTo(
        DescriptorProto * proto) const

Write the contents of this Descriptor into the given DescriptorProto.

The target DescriptorProto must be clear before calling this; if it isn't, the result may be garbage.

std::string Descriptor::DebugString() const

Write the contents of this descriptor in a human-readable form.

Output will be suitable for re-parsing.

bool Descriptor::is_placeholder() const

Returns true if this is a placeholder for an unknown type.

This will only be the case if this descriptor comes from a DescriptorPool with AllowUnknownDependencies() set.

const FieldDescriptor *
    Descriptor::field(
        int index) const

Gets a field by index, where 0 <= index < field_count().

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

const FieldDescriptor *
    Descriptor::FindFieldByNumber(
        int number) const

Looks up a field by declared tag number.

Returns nullptr if no such field exists.

const FieldDescriptor *
    Descriptor::FindFieldByLowercaseName(
        ConstStringParam lowercase_name) const

Looks up a field by lowercased name (as returned by lowercase_name()).

This lookup may be ambiguous if multiple field names differ only by case, in which case the field returned is chosen arbitrarily from the matches.

const FieldDescriptor *
    Descriptor::FindFieldByCamelcaseName(
        ConstStringParam camelcase_name) const

Looks up a field by camel-case name (as returned by camelcase_name()).

This lookup may be ambiguous if multiple field names differ in a way that leads them to have identical camel-case names, in which case the field returned is chosen arbitrarily from the matches.

int Descriptor::real_oneof_decl_count() const

The number of oneofs in this message type, excluding synthetic oneofs.

Real oneofs always come first, so iterating up to real_oneof_decl_cout() will yield all real oneofs.

const OneofDescriptor *
    Descriptor::oneof_decl(
        int index) const

Get a oneof by index, where 0 <= index < oneof_decl_count().

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

    Descriptor::nested_type(
        int index) const

Gets a nested type by index, where 0 <= index < nested_type_count().

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

const Descriptor *
    Descriptor::FindNestedTypeByName(
        ConstStringParam name) const

Looks up a nested type by name.

Returns nullptr if no such nested type exists.

const EnumDescriptor *

        int index) const

Gets an enum type by index, where 0 <= index < enum_type_count().

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

const EnumDescriptor *
    Descriptor::FindEnumTypeByName(
        ConstStringParam name) const

Looks up an enum type by name.

Returns nullptr if no such enum type exists.

const EnumValueDescriptor *
    Descriptor::FindEnumValueByName(
        ConstStringParam name) const

Looks up an enum value by name, among all enum types in this message.

Returns nullptr if no such value exists.

const ExtensionRange *
    Descriptor::extension_range(
        int index) const

Gets an extension range by index, where 0 <= index < extension_range_count().

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

int Descriptor::extension_count() const const FieldDescriptor *
    Descriptor::extension(
        int index) const

Get an extension by index, where 0 <= index < extension_count().

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

const ReservedRange *
    Descriptor::reserved_range(
        int index) const

Gets an reserved range by index, where 0 <= index < reserved_range_count().

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

const std::string &
    Descriptor::reserved_name(
        int index) const

Gets a reserved name by index, where 0 <= index < reserved_name_count().

Can't use PROTOBUF_DEFINE_ARRAY_ACCESSOR because reserved_names_ is actually an array of pointers rather than the usual array of objects.

bool Descriptor::GetSourceLocation(
        SourceLocation * out_location) const

Updates |*out_location| to the source location of the complete extent of this message declaration.

Returns false and leaves |*out_location| unchanged iff location information was not available.

const std::string &
    FieldDescriptor::lowercase_name() const

Same as name() except converted to lower-case.

This (and especially the FindFieldByLowercaseName() method) can be useful when parsing formats which prefer to use lowercase naming style. (Although, technically field names should be lowercased anyway according to the protobuf style guide, so this only makes a difference when dealing with old .proto files which do not follow the guide.)

const std::string &
    FieldDescriptor::camelcase_name() const

Same as name() except converted to camel-case.

In this conversion, any time an underscore appears in the name, it is removed and the next letter is capitalized. Furthermore, the first letter of the name is lower-cased. Examples:

FooBar -> fooBar
foo_bar -> fooBar
fooBar -> fooBar

This (and especially the FindFieldByCamelcaseName() method) can be useful when parsing formats which prefer to use camel-case naming style.

bool FieldDescriptor::has_optional_keyword() const

Returns true if this field was syntactically written with "optional" in the .proto file.

Excludes singular proto3 fields that do not have a label.

bool FieldDescriptor::has_presence() const

Returns true if this field tracks presence, ie.

does the field distinguish between "unset" and "present with default value." This includes required, optional, and oneof fields. It excludes maps, repeated fields, and singular proto3 fields without "optional".

For fields where has_presence() == true, the return value of Reflection::HasField() is semantically meaningful.

int32 FieldDescriptor::default_value_int32() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_INT32.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is 0.

int64 FieldDescriptor::default_value_int64() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_INT64.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is 0.

uint32 FieldDescriptor::default_value_uint32() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_UINT32.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is 0.

uint64 FieldDescriptor::default_value_uint64() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_UINT64.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is 0.

float FieldDescriptor::default_value_float() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_FLOAT.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is 0.0.

double FieldDescriptor::default_value_double() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_DOUBLE.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is 0.0.

bool FieldDescriptor::default_value_bool() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_BOOL.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is false.

const EnumValueDescriptor *
    FieldDescriptor::default_value_enum() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_ENUM.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is the first value defined in the enum type (all enum types are required to have at least one value). This never returns nullptr.

const std::string &
    FieldDescriptor::default_value_string() const

Get the field default value if cpp_type() == CPPTYPE_STRING.

If no explicit default was defined, the default is the empty string.

const Descriptor *
    FieldDescriptor::containing_type() const

The Descriptor for the message of which this is a field.

For extensions, this is the extended type. Never nullptr.

const Descriptor *
    FieldDescriptor::extension_scope() const

An extension may be declared within the scope of another message.

If this field is an extension (is_extension() is true), then extension_scope() returns that message, or nullptr if the extension was declared at global scope. If this is not an extension, extension_scope() is undefined (may assert-fail).

const Descriptor *
    FieldDescriptor::message_type() const

If type is TYPE_MESSAGE or TYPE_GROUP, returns a descriptor for the message or the group type.

Otherwise, returns null.

const EnumDescriptor *
    FieldDescriptor::enum_type() const

If type is TYPE_ENUM, returns a descriptor for the enum.

Otherwise, returns null.

const FieldOptions &
    FieldDescriptor::options() const

Get the FieldOptions for this field.

This includes things listed in square brackets after the field definition. E.g., the field:

optional string text = 1 [[]ctype=CORD];

has the "ctype" option set. Allowed options are defined by FieldOptions in descriptor.proto, and any available extensions of that message.

const std::string &
    FieldDescriptor::PrintableNameForExtension() const

Returns full_name() except if the field is a MessageSet extension, in which case it returns the full_name() of the containing message type for backwards compatibility with proto1.

A MessageSet extension is defined as an optional message extension whose containing type has the message_set_wire_format option set. This should be true of extensions of google.protobuf.bridge.MessageSet; by convention, such extensions are named "message_set_extension".

The opposite operation (looking up an extension's FieldDescriptor given its printable name) can be accomplished with

message->file()->pool()->FindExtensionByPrintableName(message, name)

where the extension extends "message".

bool FieldDescriptor::GetSourceLocation(
        SourceLocation * out_location) const

Updates |*out_location| to the source location of the complete extent of this field declaration.

Returns false and leaves |*out_location| unchanged iff location information was not available.

class DescriptorPool

#include <google/protobuf/descriptor.h>
namespace google::protobuf

Used to construct descriptors.

Normally you won't want to build your own descriptors. Message classes constructed by the protocol compiler will provide them for you. However, if you are implementing Message on your own, or if you are writing a program which can operate on totally arbitrary types and needs to load them from some sort of database, you might need to.

Since Descriptors are composed of a whole lot of cross-linked bits of data that would be a pain to put together manually, the DescriptorPool class is provided to make the process easier. It can take a FileDescriptorProto (defined in descriptor.proto), validate it, and convert it to a set of nicely cross-linked Descriptors.

DescriptorPool also helps with memory management. Descriptors are composed of many objects containing static data and pointers to each other. In all likelihood, when it comes time to delete this data, you'll want to delete it all at once. In fact, it is not uncommon to have a whole pool of descriptors all cross-linked with each other which you wish to delete all at once. This class represents such a pool, and handles the memory management for you.

You can also search for descriptors within a DescriptorPool by name, and extensions by number.

static void

InternalAddGeneratedFile(const void * encoded_file_descriptor, int size)

Called by generated classes at init time to add their descriptors to generated_pool.

internal_generated_pool()

For internal use only: Gets a non-const pointer to the generated pool.

internal_generated_database()

For internal use only: Gets a non-const pointer to the generated descriptor database.

more... const FileDescriptor *
    DescriptorPool::FindFileByName(
        ConstStringParam name) const

Find a FileDescriptor in the pool by file name.

Returns nullptr if not found.

const FileDescriptor *
    DescriptorPool::FindFileContainingSymbol(
        ConstStringParam symbol_name) const

Find the FileDescriptor in the pool which defines the given symbol.

If any of the Find*ByName() methods below would succeed, then this is equivalent to calling that method and calling the result's file() method. Otherwise this returns nullptr.

static const DescriptorPool *
    DescriptorPool::generated_pool()

Get a pointer to the generated pool.

Generated protocol message classes which are compiled into the binary will allocate their descriptors in this pool. Do not add your own descriptors to this pool.

const FieldDescriptor *
    DescriptorPool::FindExtensionByNumber(
        const Descriptor * extendee,
        int number) const

Finds an extension of the given type by number.

The extendee must be a member of this DescriptorPool or one of its underlays.

const FieldDescriptor *
    DescriptorPool::FindExtensionByPrintableName(
        const Descriptor * extendee,
        ConstStringParam printable_name) const

Finds an extension of the given type by its printable name.

See comments above PrintableNameForExtension() for the definition of "printable name". The extendee must be a member of this DescriptorPool or one of its underlays. Returns nullptr if there is no known message extension with the given printable name.

void DescriptorPool::FindAllExtensions(
        const Descriptor * extendee,
        std::vector< const FieldDescriptor * > * out) const

Finds extensions of extendee.

The extensions will be appended to out in an undefined order. Only extensions defined directly in this DescriptorPool or one of its underlays are guaranteed to be found: extensions defined in the fallback database might not be found depending on the database implementation.

const FileDescriptor *
    DescriptorPool::BuildFile(
        const FileDescriptorProto & proto)

Convert the FileDescriptorProto to real descriptors and place them in this DescriptorPool.

All dependencies of the file must already be in the pool. Returns the resulting FileDescriptor, or nullptr if there were problems with the input (e.g. the message was invalid, or dependencies were missing). Details about the errors are written to GOOGLE_LOG(ERROR).

void DescriptorPool::AllowUnknownDependencies()

By default, it is an error if a FileDescriptorProto contains references to types or other files that are not found in the DescriptorPool (or its backing DescriptorDatabase, if any).

If you call AllowUnknownDependencies(), however, then unknown types and files will be replaced by placeholder descriptors (which can be identified by the is_placeholder() method). This can allow you to perform some useful operations with a .proto file even if you do not have access to other .proto files on which it depends. However, some heuristics must be used to fill in the gaps in information, and these can lead to descriptors which are inaccurate. For example, the DescriptorPool may be forced to guess whether an unknown type is a message or an enum, as well as what package it resides in. Furthermore, placeholder types will not be discoverable via FindMessageTypeByName() and similar methods, which could confuse some descriptor-based algorithms. Generally, the results of this option should be handled with extreme care.

void DescriptorPool::EnforceWeakDependencies(
        bool enforce)

By default, weak imports are allowed to be missing, in which case we will use a placeholder for the dependency and convert the field to be an Empty message field.

If you call EnforceWeakDependencies(true), however, the DescriptorPool will report a import not found error.

explicit DescriptorPool::DescriptorPool(
        const DescriptorPool * underlay)

Create a DescriptorPool which is overlaid on top of some other pool.

If you search for a descriptor in the overlay and it is not found, the underlay will be searched as a backup. If the underlay has its own underlay, that will be searched next, and so on. This also means that files built in the overlay will be cross-linked with the underlay's descriptors if necessary. The underlay remains property of the caller; it must remain valid for the lifetime of the newly-constructed pool.

Example: Say you want to parse a .proto file at runtime in order to use its type with a DynamicMessage. Say this .proto file has dependencies, but you know that all the dependencies will be things that are already compiled into the binary. For ease of use, you'd like to load the types right out of generated_pool() rather than have to parse redundant copies of all these .protos and runtime. But, you don't want to add the parsed types directly into generated_pool(): this is not allowed, and would be bad design anyway. So, instead, you could use generated_pool() as an underlay for a new DescriptorPool in which you add only the new file.

WARNING: Use of underlays can lead to many subtle gotchas. Instead, try to formulate what you want to do in terms of DescriptorDatabases.

void DescriptorPool::InternalSetLazilyBuildDependencies()

For internal use only: Enables lazy building of dependencies of a file.

Delay the building of dependencies of a file descriptor until absolutely necessary, like when message_type() is called on a field that is defined in that dependency's file. This will cause functional issues if a proto or one of its dependencies has errors. Should only be enabled for the generated_pool_ (because no descriptor build errors are guaranteed by the compilation generation process), testing, or if a lack of descriptor build errors can be guaranteed for a pool.

bool DescriptorPool::InternalIsFileLoaded(
        ConstStringParam filename) const

For internal (unit test) use only: Returns true if a FileDescriptor has been constructed for the given file, false otherwise.

Useful for testing lazy descriptor initialization behavior.

void DescriptorPool::AddUnusedImportTrackFile(
        ConstStringParam file_name,
        bool is_error = false)

Add a file to unused_import_track_files_.

DescriptorBuilder will log warnings or errors for those files if there is any unused import.

static void DescriptorPool::InternalAddGeneratedFile(
        const void * encoded_file_descriptor,
        int size)

Called by generated classes at init time to add their descriptors to generated_pool.

Do NOT call this in your own code! filename must be a permanent string (e.g. a string literal).

static DescriptorPool * DescriptorPool::internal_generated_pool()

For internal use only: Gets a non-const pointer to the generated pool.

This is called at static-initialization time only, so thread-safety is not a concern. If both an underlay and a fallback database are present, the underlay takes precedence.

static DescriptorDatabase *
    DescriptorPool::internal_generated_database()

For internal use only: Gets a non-const pointer to the generated descriptor database.

Only used for testing.

class DescriptorPool::ErrorCollector
