Skip certain indices while encoding

[LakshmiKanth Gupta]

Hello All,

message EmployeeData

{

    string name =1;

    string address = 2;

    integer salary =3;

}

1.

When I transmit the EmployeeData., I would like to skip "salary" from encoding.

Is that possible?

2.

Is it possible to tag a void pointer with employeedata object in c++ code?  Some auxillary information

All Inputs are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

with best regards,

   Gupta

For 1 options: a) don't assign a value to salary (unless it is "required" in proto2, which doesn't appear to be the case), or b) create a new EmployeeDataMinimal message that *doesn't have a salary*, and serialize that

(I can't comment on 2; not a C++ person)

EmployeeDataMinimal solution doesn't work for me. Use case which I have is much more complex. But many thanks for your helping hand.
