nooby question: output file extension from protoc

[Anthony Glaser]

By default the protoc commands outputs a file with an extension of .pb.cc from a file foo.proto with --cpp_out .  Is there a way to make the output foo.pb.cpp from that same foo.proto instead of foo.pb.cc? I looked through the configure file and didn't see a way to do it, googled around a bit and came up empty there as well.

If you could point me in the right direction where to look for this info I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you for your help.

Don't know about the internals, but it should be quite easy to write a script round the command that renames after the generation of the file.

Digging through the source code, there's a function called CppGenerator::Generate in src/google/protobuf/compiler/cpp/cpp_generator.cc that has the extensions. You could change there the .cc to .cpp. A patch to allow the extension would be nice, I guess. Not sure how straight-forward it'd be.
