protobuf-c的学习总结

1、前言

         项目中用到protobuf-c进行数据序列化，好处在于后期程序扩展性非常好，只需要改动proto的定义就可以保持兼容，非常的灵活方便。关于protobuf-c的详细介绍可以参考google官方文档。https://code.google.com/p/protobuf-c/。在此简单的介绍一下基本功能。proto文件格式如下所示：

message AMessage
{
     requried  int32  a = 1;  //a必须出现
     optional  string b = 2;  //b是可选的
     repeated  int32  c = 3;  //c是数组
}

字段规则类型：

required：表示后面的数据是必须的。

optional：表示后面数据是可选的。

repeated：表示后面的数据是一个数组。

标量数值类型

.proto类型

Java 类型

C++类型

备注

double

double

double

 

float

float

float

 

int32

int

int32

使用可变长编码方式。编码负数时不够高效——如果你的字段可能含有负数，那么请使用sint32。

int64

long

int64

使用可变长编码方式。编码负数时不够高效——如果你的字段可能含有负数，那么请使用sint64。

uint32

int[1]

uint32

Uses variable-length encoding.

uint64

 long[1] uint64 Uses variable-length encoding.

sint32

int

int32

使用可变长编码方式。有符号的整型值。编码时比通常的int32高效。

sint64

long

int64

使用可变长编码方式。有符号的整型值。编码时比通常的int64高效。

fixed32

int[1]

uint32

总是4个字节。如果数值总是比总是比228大的话，这个类型会比uint32高效。

fixed64

long[1]

uint64

总是8个字节。如果数值总是比总是比256大的话，这个类型会比uint64高效。

sfixed32

int

int32

总是4个字节。

sfixed64

long

int64

总是8个字节。

bool

boolean

bool

 

string

String

string

一个字符串必须是UTF-8编码或者7-bit ASCII编码的文本。

bytes

ByteString

string

可能包含任意顺序的字节数据。

2、测试程序

　　编写一个学生信息的proto，proto文件内容如下所示：

  1 message Student
  2 {
  3     required string id = 1;
  4     required string name = 2;
  5     required string gender = 3;
  6     required int32  age = 4;
  7     required string object = 5;
  8     required string home_address = 6;
  9     required string phone = 7;
 10 }

编译命令： protoc-c --c_cout=.  student.proto

生成student.pb-c.c 和 student.pb-c.h两个文件。student.pb-c.h文件内容如下所示：
