下载

git clone https://github.com/google/protobuf.git
cd protobuf
$ ./autogen.sh

可能会遇到以下问题:/autogen.sh: 40: autoreconf: not found
解决办法: sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool

./configure –prefix=/usr
make
make check
make install

使用

一、首先定义一个proto文件:

package lm; 
 message helloworld 
 { 
    required int32     id = 1;  // ID 
    required string    str = 2;  // str 
    optional int32     opt = 3;  //optional field 
 }

取名为:lm.helloworld.proto
在该文件的当前目录下,运行如下命令:

protoc -I=./ --cpp_out=./ lm.helloworld.proto

生成lm.helloworld.pb.h 和 lm.helloworld.pb.cc两个文件,分别是类的定义和实现文件。

二、然后使用上面两个文件,新建write.cpp和read.cpp文件:
write.cpp

#include "lm.helloworld.pb.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
    lm::helloworld msg1;
    msg1.set_id(101);
    msg1.set_str("Hello");

    fstream output("./log", ios::out | ios::trunc | ios::binary);

    if (!msg1.SerializeToOstream(&output))
    {
        cerr << "Failed to write msg." << endl;
        return -1;
    }
    return 0;
}

read.cpp

#include "lm.helloworld.pb.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    lm::helloworld msg1;
    fstream input("./log", ios::in | ios::binary);
    if (!msg1.ParseFromIstream(&input))
    {
        cerr << "Failed to parse address book." << endl;
        return -1;
    }

    cout << msg1.id() << endl;
    cout << msg1.str() << endl;
    return 0;
}

三、编译上面两个文件

c++ write.cpp lm.helloworld.pb.cc -lprotobuf -o write
c++ read.cpp lm.helloworld.pb.cc -lprotobuf -o read
