protoc-gen-gogoroach

protoc (protobuf compiler) plugin for CockroachDB protobuf files.

This protoc plugin is used to generate Go protobuf struct definitions compatible with CockroachDB.

Differences with the base protoc-gen-gogo plugin:

• Go getters not generated by default, since they are usually not needed and pollute the public API of a package.
• Generation of the additional MarshalTo, Marshal and Size methods.
• Marshal algorithm made deterministic for reliable output in tests.
• No generation of a XXX_unrecognized []byte member, which, while it enables a safeguard against programming mistakes, causes significant memory overhead.
