Details

Documentation for these types can be found in the official C++ API reference.

These bindings are automatically generated by autocxx. Many types and methods are missing due to missing features in autocxx. As autocxx improves, so will these bindings. If you discover new types that autocxx is capable of generating bindings for, please submit an issue!

At present, autocxx is invoked automatically in the crate's build script. This creates a dependency on libclang at build time via the clang-sys crate. Once the bindings stabilize, we plan to manually commit the generated bindings to the repository to avoid this dependency.

Depending on your use case, the handwritten bindings in protobuf-native may be more suitable.
