In order for the v2 rollout to be as seamless as possible, we need to support the situation where a v2 message depends on some other generated v1 message that may be stale and does not support the v2 API. In such a situation, there needs to be some way to wrap a legacy message or enum in such a way that it satisfies the v2 API. This wrapping is comprised of two parts: 1) Deriving an enum or message descriptor 2) Providing an reflection implementation for messages This CL addresses part 1 (while part 2 has already been partially implemented, since the implementation applies to both v1 and v2). To derive the enum and message descriptor we rely on a mixture of parsing the raw descriptor proto and also introspection on the fields in the message. Methods for obtaining the raw descriptor protos were added in February, 2016, and so has not always been available. For that reason, we attempt to derive as much information from the Go type as possible. As part of this change, we modify prototype to be able to create multiple standalone messages as a set. This is needed since cyclic dependencies is allowed between messages within a single proto file.

Next Generation Go Protocol Buffers
WARNING: This repository is in active development. There are no guarantees about API stability. Breaking changes will occur until a stable release is made and announced.
This repository is for the development of the next major Go implementation of protocol buffers. This library makes breaking API changes relative to the existing Go protobuf library. Of particular note, this API aims to make protobuf reflection a first-class feature of the API and implements the protobuf ecosystem in terms of reflection.
