Hacklang generator for protobuf
- bazel[isk] which will manage:
- protoc
- golang toolchain
- hhvm
Run bazel build protoc-gen-hack to build the plugin binary; Then run
protoc --proto_path=/path/to/proto/folder --plugin=/path/to/protoc-gen-hack --hack_out=plugin=grpc:/path/to/output/folder <proto/files>
To generate multiple files per proto based on top level entities, please add the following flag
--hack_out=plugin=grpc,file_per_entity:/path/to/output
protoc --hack_out=./gen-src example.proto
To include gRPC service stubs:
protoc --hack_out=plugin=grpc:./gen-src example.proto
In addition to generated code, you will need the library code in /lib.
$msg = new ExampleMessage();
$raw = Protobuf\Marshal($msg);
$msg2 = new ExampleMessage();
Protobuf\Unmarshal($raw, $msg);

- Unsigned 64 bit integer types (e.g. uint64, fixed64) are represented using their signed counterparts, with the top bit simply being stored in the sign bit. (similar to java).
- Avoid unsigned 64 bit types (uint64, fixed64)
