Text.ProtocolBuffers.Reflections

Description

A strong feature of the protocol-buffers package is that it does not contain any structures defined by descriptor.proto! This prevents me hitting any annoying circular dependencies. The structures defined here are included in each module created by hprotoc. They are optimized for use in code generation.

These values can be inspected at runtime by the user's code, but I have yet to write much documentation. Luckily the record field names are somewhat descriptive.

The other reflection is using the fileDescriptorProto which is put into the top level module created by hprotoc.

Synopsis

Documentation

data ProtoName Source

This is fully qualified name data type for code generation. The haskellPrefix was possibly specified on the hprotoc command line. The parentModule is a combination of the module prefix from the '.proto' file and any nested levels of definition.

The name components are likely to have been mangled to ensure the baseName started with an uppercase letter, in ['A'..'Z'] .

Constructors

ProtoName 

Fields

protobufName :: FIName Utf8

fully qualified name using "package" prefix (no mangling)

haskellPrefix :: [MName String]

Haskell specific prefix to module hierarchy (e.g. Text.Foo)

parentModule :: [MName String]

.proto specified namespace (like Com.Google.Bar)

baseName :: MName String
 

data ProtoFName Source

Constructors

ProtoFName 

Fields

protobufName' :: FIName Utf8

fully qualified name using "package" prefix (no mangling)

haskellPrefix' :: [MName String]

Haskell specific prefix to module hierarchy (e.g. Text.Foo)

parentModule' :: [MName String]

.proto specified namespace (like Com.Google.Bar)

baseName' :: FName String
 

data ProtoInfo Source

Constructors

ProtoInfo 

Fields

protoMod :: ProtoName

blank protobufName, maybe blank haskellPrefix and/or parentModule

protoFilePath :: [FilePath]

path to haskell module

protoSource :: FilePath

filename without path of .proto file

extensionKeys :: Seq KeyInfo

top level keys

messages :: [DescriptorInfo]

all messages and groups

enums :: [EnumInfo]

all enums

knownKeyMap :: Map ProtoName (Seq FieldInfo)
 

data FieldInfo Source

Constructors

FieldInfo 

Fields

fieldName :: ProtoFName
 
fieldNumber :: FieldId
 
wireTag :: WireTag

Used for writing and reading if packedTag is Nothing

packedTag :: Maybe (WireTag, WireTag)

used for reading when Just {} instead of wireTag

wireTagLength :: WireSize

Bytes required in the Varint formatted wireTag

isPacked :: Bool
 
isRequired :: Bool
 
canRepeat :: Bool

True if repeated is the field type

mightPack :: Bool

True if packed would be valid for this field type

typeCode :: FieldType

fromEnum of Text.DescriptorProtos.FieldDescriptorProto.Type

typeName :: Maybe ProtoName

Set for Messages,Groups,and Enums

hsRawDefault :: Maybe ByteString

crappy, but not escaped, thing

hsDefault :: Maybe HsDefault

nice parsed thing

data HsDefault Source

HsDefault stores the parsed default from the proto file in a form that will make a nice literal in the Language.Haskell.Exts.Syntax code generation by hprotoc.

Note that Utf8 labeled byte sequences have been stripped to just ByteString here as this is sufficient for code generation.

On 25 August 2010 20:12, George van den Driessche georgevdd@google.com sent Chris Kuklewicz a patch to MakeReflections.parseDefEnum to ensure that HsDef'Enum holds the mangled form of the name.

data SomeRealFloat Source

SomeRealFloat projects Double/Float to Rational or a special IEEE type. This is needed to track protobuf-2.3.0 which allows nan and inf and -inf default values.

data EnumInfo Source

Constructors

EnumInfo 

Fields

enumName :: ProtoName
 
enumFilePath :: [FilePath]
 
enumValues :: [(EnumCode, String)]

The String is the Haskell name to write into the generated source files

class ReflectDescriptor m where Source

Minimal complete definition

reflectDescriptorInfo

Methods

getMessageInfo :: m -> GetMessageInfo Source

This is obtained via read on the stored show output of the DescriptorInfo in the module file. It is used in getting messages from the wire.

Must not inspect argument

reflectDescriptorInfo Source

Arguments

:: m 
-> DescriptorInfo

Must not inspect argument

class ReflectEnum e where Source

Minimal complete definition

reflectEnum, reflectEnumInfo

Methods

reflectEnum :: EnumInfoApp e Source

reflectEnumInfo Source

Arguments

:: e 
-> EnumInfo

Must not inspect argument

parentOfEnum Source

Arguments

:: e 
-> Maybe DescriptorInfo

Must not inspect argument

data GetMessageInfo Source

GetMessageInfo is used in getting messages from the wire. It supplies the Set of precomposed wire tags that must be found in the message as well as a Set of all allowed tags (including known extension fields and all required wire tags).

Extension fields not in the allowedTags set are still loaded, but only as ByteString blobs that will have to interpreted later.

makePNF :: ByteString -> [String] -> [String] -> String -> ProtoName Source

makePNF is used by the generated code to create a ProtoName with less newtype noise.
