Hi
I have a .proto2 file, like:
message s {
optional double a = 1;
}
When I run protoc and generate the .pb.go file, it contains code like:
type S struct {
A *float64 `protobuf:"fixed64,1,opt,name=a"
json:"a,omitempty"`
XXX_unrecognized []byte `json:"-"`
}
Why is the A field here a pointer instead of a normal float64 ? Is there
any way to get it a float64 ?
I ask this because, the code becomes too verbose. If it was just a float, I
would have written code like:
var s pb.S
s.A, err = strconv.ParseFloat(strings.Replace(lines[0], ",", "", -1), 64)
whereas now I am forced to write:
f, err = strpconv.ParseFloat(strings.Replace(lines[0], ",", "", -1), 64)
if err != nil {
}
s.A = protobuf.Float64(f)
This is one extra line everywhere s.A is used. Also, in case of float64 it
may be just one line. But if I have other structs as member elements in my
structs, this code becomes even more complicated. Is there any way to
generate code such that actual struct instances and datatype instances will
be used instead of pointers ?
Thanks.
