A shallow copy of a message is a common operation with over 10k usages inside Google. However, the semantics of a shallow copy on the struct is ill-defined and not officially supported by the generated protobuf API. To reduce improper usages, add an official implementation of shallow merging that does something similar where messages, lists, and maps are shallow copied into the destination if it does not already have one populated. In the common case where the destination is empty, this equivalent to: src.Range(func(fd protoreflect.FieldDescriptor, v protoreflect.Value) bool { dst.Set(fd, v) }) if len(src.GetUnknown()) > 0 { dst.SetUnknown(src.GetUnknown()) } which is as simple of a shallow copy definition as you can get. A future CL will add a fast-path implementation of both deep and shallow merges.

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.
