Introduction:

When compiling nanopb Protobuf library as part of C language programs, nested Protobuf messages require use of nanopb defined function type `pb_callback_t` in order to encode and to decode those nested messages. Some examples of this on github:

In the first example an early on file instance of `pb_callback_t` occurs on line 56. Looking further this project has a few dozen protoc generated files . . . switching to a possible smaller project:

In kitsune project, looking at:

(1) file kitsune/kitsune/audio_features_upload_task.c function setup_protbuf( . . . ) (2) file audio_features_upload_task_helpers.c function encode_repeated_streaming_bytes_and_mark_done(pb_ostream_t *stream, const pb_field_t *field, void * const *arg) (3) in same file reviewing function write_streams(pb_ostream_t *stream, const pb_field_t *field,hlo_stream_t * hlo_stream)

Protobuf references, somewhat arbitrary starting point yet introduces some key topics of Protobuf standard and use cases:

JSON supported data types:


First Protobuf .proto file, compiles using `protoc-c`, part of a package available with Ubuntu 20.04:

// syntax = "proto3";
syntax = "proto2";

// Notes:
// $ protoc-c --c_out=. ./first.proto

message sensorUpdates {
  required int32 message_id = 1;
  optional float vrms = 2;
}

. . . It appears that the integer values which message elements are assigned as tantamount to key names in JSON.
