Is it possible to use upb natively ?

[Dav-11]

Hello,

I am working on protobuf in C.

RN I am using pbtools (https://github.com/eerimoq/pbtools).

I would like to use upb.

I found out you can create upb.c/.h for the runtime by running bazel build amalgamation.

I suppose that the upb_generator is the compiler for the *.proto files, if that is so, can someone help me figure out how to build/use it ?

Also if there is a group for upb can someone point it out to me please ? I am having hard time figuring out information about the project.

Thank you all

Hi Davide -

It is *possible* to use upb natively but this is neither recommended nor supported because the purpose of upb is to act as a hidden layer and we make breaking changes to it with great frequency. Example: The amalgamation target is a hack that we use to get the Ruby and PHP protobuf implementations to build in non-bazel environments. We would love to get rid of it someday and when we do there will be no warning - it will simply vanish.
