New issue 420 by pierre.g...@free.fr: code generation problem when using
namespaces and import from a root directory
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=420

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create directory ns1 and subdirectory ns2 (ex <project_path>\ns1\ns2)
2. create a first proto file with a message within package ns1.ns2; (ex
person.proto)
3. create a second proto file in the same package ns1.ns2; and add
import "ns1/ns2/First.proto"; + a message using the message declared in
step 2. (ex addressbook.proto)
4. for each proto file generate code using the command: protoc
-I="<project_path>" -I=. --cpp_out=. <file_name>.proto

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Generated code should compile but instead there is a problem with names of
few generated functions used in generated outer classes.
Ex:
In file addressbook.pb.cc, function void
protobuf_AddDesc_addressbook_2eproto() calls
function ::ns1::ns2::protobuf_AddDesc_ns1_2fns2_2fPerson_2eproto() instead
of ::ns1::ns2::protobuf_AddDesc_Person_2eproto() declared in person.pb.h

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
protoc --version --> libprotoc 2.4.1
Tested on Windows XP and Windows Seven

Please provide any additional information below.

You should be able to compile your code with the following command (after
rename "Person.proto" to "person.proto"):
~$ protoc --cpp_out=. -I. ns1/ns2/addressbook.proto ns1/ns2/person.proto

This example generates broken code as reported. Please take another look

Please use the command line I gave in comment #1 to compile the proto file.
