goprotowrap

⚠️ This is a maintenance fork of the original repository which is archived.

A package-at-a-time wrapper for protoc, for generating Go protobuf code.

It is used in the aperturerobotics/protobuf-project template Makefile.

protowrap is a small tool built by Square for compiling Protobuf.

Install

go get -u github.com/aperturerobotics/goprotowrap/cmd/protowrap

Philosophy

protowrap is called instead of protoc, and ensures that .proto files are processed one Go package at a time.

It parses out the flags it understands, passing the rest through to protoc unchanged.

Operation

• search for all .proto files under the same import paths as the .proto file arguments
• call protoc to generate FileDescriptorProtos
• inspect the FileDescriptorProtos to deduce package information
• group .proto files into packages
• call protoc once for each package
