protoc v3.5.0 displayed as v2.5.0 with --version option
Gabriel Mahoux
I downloaded the code source from v3.5.0 and generated the bin "protoc.exe"
for Win 64b.
When I execute "protoc --version", it returned "v2.5.0".
In my "google/protobuf/stubs/common.h" file, the GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_VERSION
and GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_MIN_PROTOC_VERSION constants are set to 3005000.
// The current version, represented as a single integer to make comparison
// easier: major * 10^6 + minor * 10^3 + micro
#define GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_VERSION 3005000
// A suffix string for alpha, beta or rc releases. Empty for stable releases.
#define GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_VERSION_SUFFIX ""
// The minimum library version which works with the current version of the
// headers.
#define GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_MIN_LIBRARY_VERSION 3005000
// The minimum header version which works with the current version of
// the library. This constant should only be used by protoc's C++ code
// generator.
static const int kMinHeaderVersionForLibrary = 3005000;
// The minimum protoc version which works with the current version of the
// headers.
#define GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_MIN_PROTOC_VERSION 3005000
But, when I generated my class (in C++):
- the proto file shall have the syntax proto2 (proto3 is unrecognized)
- the header make a check between those and the value 2005000 !!!
So, compilation displays the associated error message :
#include <google/protobuf/stubs/common.h>
#if GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_VERSION < 2005000
#error This file was generated by a newer version of protoc which is
#error incompatible with your Protocol Buffer headers. Please update
#error your headers.
#endif
#if 2005000 < GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_MIN_PROTOC_VERSION
#error This file was generated by an older version of protoc which is
#error incompatible with your Protocol Buffer headers. Please
#error regenerate this file with a newer version of protoc.
#endif
How can I get the correct version number for the version checking with the
correct syntax version (version 3.5.0 expected)?
Thank you.
