Is there a C++ Any.pack() equivalent?

[Eric Hansen]

In my C++ grpc server, I'm trying to pack another proto (e.t. deviceStatus) into the Status proto but I cannot find 'Any' in the c++ API, nor any examples about how to do this in C++

This is how I do it in Java...

com.google.rpc.Status build = com.google.rpc.Status.newBuilder() .setCode(grpcErrorCode.getNumber()) .setMessage(dex.getMessage()) .addDetails(Any.pack(deviceStatus)) .build();

Thanks for any pointers...

In C++, `error_details` in grpc::Status is a string. So you probably want to serialize your object to the wire format or json. If there's a Any field in a message, you should be able to do something like this:

```

MyMessage msg;

Any any = msg.mutable_someanyfield();

any->PackFrom(myobject);

```
