The compilation instructions are long and scary, and they distract from
other documentation in the README. Most users don't need them, so by
moving the instructions out we improve the ease of use of the document.
- The version of protoc should be the same as the version of
protobuf-java that is transitively depended by grpc
- Updated protobuf-gradle-plugin example to use version 0.5.0
Other classes are already following the convention that ClientFoo for
client-side, and ServerFoo for server-side. Call has been the black
sheep of the family.
- Call -> ClientCall
- Calls -> ClientCalls
- ForwardingCall* -> ForwardingClientCall*
"Interoperability" is a more appropriate name for the tests, since they
are used for testing across different implementations. They will do a
bit of integration testing, like for auth, but this is a smaller scale.
It seems the other languages (Go, C++, Node, PHP, Python, Ruby) are
using "interop" to describe the tests, and the test case specifications
document is named with "interop". After this change, C# will be the only
language calling them "integration" tests.
This change just renames the folder and artifact. We can change the
internal package names later. However, once we do a release, old
artifact names will live forever in Maven Central.
This allows people who cannot run the pre-compiled ``protoc`` pulled
from Maven Central to use their own ``protoc``.
Upgrade to protobuf-gradle-plugin:0.4.1 to display error messages of
protoc failures.
- Switch all system properties to project properties.
- Use the ``javaLocalNamingStyle`` instead of the
``dot.delimited.style`` for property names, so that it can be directly
referenced by ``rootProject.propertyName``.
- Recommend users to put GRPC-specific properties in project-level
``build.properties`` instead of the user-level.
Resolves#357
- Add project property ``grpc.skip.codegen``, which is false by default.
People who don't change the codegen nor the proto files can set it to
true so that they don't need to set up C++ compilation.
- Check in all generated files under ``src/generated``.
- Stop defining custom architectures because VisualCpp toolchain doesn't
allow it. Reference to built-in architectures 'x86' and 'x86_64' since
they are supported by all toolchains.
- Remove 'local_arch' from platforms. For unsupported platform, we just
do not specify the target.
- Target no more than one platform at a time. This simplifies the build
script a lot.
- Remove the TARGET_ARCHS environment variable. Add system property
``arch`` to override ``osdetector.arch``.
- Add ``vc.disable`` to override the default choice of VisualCpp on
Windows.
- Add ``vc.`` prefix to the properties that are only used with VC++
A Gradle protoc plugin is used for generating and compiling the grpc
codegen. The code organization was changed to match what Gradle expects.
Proto 3 is now required.
