There are two reasons you might be interested in this 47 // package: 48 // - You want to parse .proto files at runtime. In this case, you should 49 // look at importer.h. Since this functionality is widely useful, it is 50 // included in the libprotobuf base library; you do not have to link against 51 // libprotoc. 52 // - You want to write a custom protocol compiler which generates different 53 // kinds of code, e.g. code in a different language which is not supported 54 // by the official compiler. For this purpose, command_line_interface.h 55 // provides you with a complete compiler front-end, so all you need to do 56 // is write a custom implementation of CodeGenerator and a trivial main() 57 // function. You can even make your compiler support the official languages 58 // in addition to your own. Since this functionality is only useful to those 59 // writing custom compilers, it is in a separate library called "libprotoc" 60 // which you will have to link against. 61 namespace compiler {} 62 63 } // namespace protobuf 64 } // namespace google 65
