I'm using protobuf 2.6.1 with this plugin which I compiled myself.
In the project I'm working with Protobuf models are already present. I tried to regenerate the files using the following command:
protoc --plugin=/path/to/the/compiled/plugin/objc-gen --objc_out=./gen/ NAME.proto OF.proto THE.proto FILES.proto
Generally, the files match closely with the previously generated models, however, there are some syntactic differences.
The following .proto string:
repeated MyType case = 4;
is translated to this line in Obj-C (New plugin, with ARC):
@property (readonly, strong) NSArray * case;
And it used to be with the List suffix (Old plugin, non-ARC, doesn't work with the current version of macOS):
- (NSArray*) caseList;
Given that case is a keyword in Objective-C, this triggers compilation errors.
Questions:
Since what version Protobuf changed syntax to omit
Listsuffix?Is it possible to trigger "old" behavior with a new plugin?
What is the last version of plugin that runs on macOS 10.14.3 and able to generate the files with old style (i.e. with the
listsuffix)?
