介绍
这个例子展示了如何使用Protobuf生成源文件。Protocol Buffers是Google提供的一种数据序列化格式。用户提供带有数据描述的.proto文件。然后使用Protobuf编译器,可以将该原始文件翻译成包括C++在内的多种语言的源代码。
本教程中的文件如下:

[AddressBook.proto] - 来自main protocol buffer示例的proto文件
package tutorial; message Person { required string name = 1; required int32 id = 2; optional string email = 3; enum PhoneType { MOBILE = 0; HOME = 1; WORK = 2; } message PhoneNumber { required string number = 1; optional PhoneType type = 2 [default = HOME]; } repeated PhoneNumber phone = 4; } message AddressBook { repeated Person person = 1; }

[main.cpp] - protobuf示例的源文件.
#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include "AddressBook.pb.h" using namespace std; // This function fills in a Person message based on user input. void PromptForAddress(tutorial::Person* person) { cout << "Enter person ID number: "; int id; cin >> id; person->set_id(id); cin.ignore(256, '\n'); cout << "Enter name: "; getline(cin, *person->mutable_name()); cout << "Enter email address (blank for none): "; string email; getline(cin, email); if (!email.empty()) { person->set_email(email); } while (true) { cout << "Enter a phone number (or leave blank to finish): "; string number; getline(cin, number); if (number.empty()) { break; } tutorial::Person::PhoneNumber* phone_number = person->add_phone(); phone_number->set_number(number); cout << "Is this a mobile, home, or work phone? "; string type; getline(cin, type); if (type == "mobile") { phone_number->set_type(tutorial::Person::MOBILE); } else if (type == "home") { phone_number->set_type(tutorial::Person::HOME); } else if (type == "work") { phone_number->set_type(tutorial::Person::WORK); } else { cout << "Unknown phone type. Using default." << endl; } } } // Main function: Reads the entire address book from a file, // adds one person based on user input, then writes it back out to the same // file. int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { // Verify that the version of the library that we linked against is // compatible with the version of the headers we compiled against. GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_VERIFY_VERSION; if (argc != 2) { cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " ADDRESS_BOOK_FILE" << endl; return -1; } tutorial::AddressBook address_book; { // Read the existing address book. fstream input(argv[1], ios::in | ios::binary); if (!input) { cout << argv[1] << ": File not found. Creating a new file." << endl; } else if (!address_book.ParseFromIstream(&input)) { cerr << "Failed to parse address book." << endl; return -1; } } // Add an address. PromptForAddress(address_book.add_person()); { // Write the new address book back to disk. fstream output(argv[1], ios::out | ios::trunc | ios::binary); if (!address_book.SerializeToOstream(&output)) { cerr << "Failed to write address book." << endl; return -1; } } // Optional: Delete all global objects allocated by libprotobuf. google::protobuf::ShutdownProtobufLibrary(); return 0; }
要求
此示例需要安装protocol buffers二进制文件和库。可以使用以下命令将其安装在Ubuntu上。
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev
概念
导出变量
由CMake Protobuf包导出并在此示例中使用的变量包括:
PROTOBUF_FOUND
- 如果安装了Protocol BuffersPROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIRS
- protobuf的头文件PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES
- protobuf库
此外,还可以通过查看FindProtobuf.cmake文件顶部的内容找到定义的更多变量。
生成源代码
Protobuf CMake包包含许多帮助函数,以简化代码生成。在本例中,我们生成的是C++源代码,使用以下代码:
PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP(PROTO_SRCS PROTO_HDRS AddressBook.proto)
这些参数包括:
- PROTO_SRCS - 存储.pb.cc文件的变量名称
- PROTO_HDRS- 存储.pb.h文件的变量名称
- AddressBook.proto - 从中生成代码的.proto文件
生成文件
在调用PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP
函数之后,你将拥有上面提到的变量。这些将被标记为自定义命令的输出,该命令将调用Protobuf编译器来生成它们。
要生成这些文件,你应该将它们添加到库或可执行文件中。
例如:
add_executable(protobuf_example
main.cpp
${PROTO_SRCS}
${PROTO_HDRS})
这将导致在对该可执行文件目标调用make时调用protocol buf编译器。
对.proto文件进行更改后,将再次自动生成关联的源文件。但是,如果没有对.proto文件进行任何更改,并且你重新运行make,则不会执行任何操作。
