For each change, the rationale and required -modifications of user applications are explained. Also any error indications -are included, in order to make it easier to find this document. - -.. contents :: - -Nanopb-0.3.8 (2017-03-05) -========================= -Fully drain substreams before closing - -**Rationale:** If the substream functions were called directly and the caller -did not completely empty the substring before closing it, the parent stream -would be put into an incorrect state. - -**Changes:** *pb_close_string_substream* can now error and returns a boolean. - -**Required actions:** Add error checking onto any call to -*pb_close_string_substream*. - -Nanopb-0.3.5 (2016-02-13) -========================= - -Add support for platforms without uint8_t ------------------------------------------ -**Rationale:** Some platforms cannot access 8-bit sized values directly, and -do not define *uint8_t*. Nanopb previously didn't support these platforms. - -**Changes:** References to *uint8_t* were replaced with several alternatives, -one of them being a new *pb_byte_t* typedef. This in turn uses *uint_least8_t* -which means the smallest available type. - -**Required actions:** If your platform does not have a standards-compliant -*stdint.h*, it may lack the definition for *[u]int_least8_t*. This must be -added manually, example can be found in *extra/pb_syshdr.h*. - -**Error indications:** Compiler error: "unknown type name 'uint_least8_t'". - -Nanopb-0.3.2 (2015-01-24) -========================= - -Add support for OneOfs ----------------------- -**Rationale:** Previously nanopb did not support the *oneof* construct in -*.proto* files. Those fields were generated as regular *optional* fields. - -**Changes:** OneOfs are now generated as C unions. Callback fields are not -supported inside oneof and generator gives an error. - -**Required actions:** The generator option *no_unions* can be used to restore old -behaviour and to allow callbacks to be used. To use unions, one change is -needed: use *which_xxxx* field to detect which field is present, instead -of *has_xxxx*. Compare the value against *MyStruct_myfield_tag*. - -**Error indications:** Generator error: "Callback fields inside of oneof are -not supported". Compiler error: "Message" has no member named "has_xxxx". - -Nanopb-0.3.0 (2014-08-26) -========================= - -Separate field iterator logic to pb_common.c --------------------------------------------- -**Rationale:** Originally, the field iteration logic was simple enough to be -duplicated in *pb_decode.c* and *pb_encode.c*. New field types have made the -logic more complex, which required the creation of a new file to contain the -common functionality. - -**Changes:** There is a new file, *pb_common.c*, which must be included in -builds. - -**Required actions:** Add *pb_common.c* to build rules. This file is always -required. Either *pb_decode.c* or *pb_encode.c* can still be left out if some -functionality is not needed. - -**Error indications:** Linker error: undefined reference to -*pb_field_iter_begin*, *pb_field_iter_next* or similar. - -Change data type of field counts to pb_size_t ---------------------------------------------- -**Rationale:** Often nanopb is used with small arrays, such as 255 items or -less. Using a full *size_t* field to store the array count wastes memory if -there are many arrays. There already exists parameters *PB_FIELD_16BIT* and -*PB_FIELD_32BIT* which tell nanopb what is the maximum size of arrays in use. - -**Changes:** Generator will now use *pb_size_t* for the array *_count* fields. -The size of the type will be controlled by the *PB_FIELD_16BIT* and -*PB_FIELD_32BIT* compilation time options. - -**Required actions:** Regenerate all *.pb.h* files. In some cases casts to the -*pb_size_t* type may need to be added in the user code when accessing the -*_count* fields. - -**Error indications:** Incorrect data at runtime, crashes. But note that other -changes in the same version already require regenerating the files and have -better indications of errors, so this is only an issue for development -versions. - -Renamed some macros and identifiers ------------------------------------ -**Rationale:** Some names in nanopb core were badly chosen and conflicted with -ISO C99 reserved names or lacked a prefix. While they haven't caused trouble -so far, it is reasonable to switch to non-conflicting names as these are rarely -used from user code. - -**Changes:** The following identifier names have changed: - - * Macros: - - * STATIC_ASSERT(x) -> PB_STATIC_ASSERT(x) - * UNUSED(x) -> PB_UNUSED(x) - - * Include guards: - - * _PB_filename_ -> PB_filename_INCLUDED - - * Structure forward declaration tags: - - * _pb_field_t -> pb_field_s - * _pb_bytes_array_t -> pb_bytes_array_s - * _pb_callback_t -> pb_callback_s - * _pb_extension_type_t -> pb_extension_type_s - * _pb_extension_t -> pb_extension_s - * _pb_istream_t -> pb_istream_s - * _pb_ostream_t -> pb_ostream_s - -**Required actions:** Regenerate all *.pb.c* files. If you use any of the above -identifiers in your application code, perform search-replace to the new name. - -**Error indications:** Compiler errors on lines with the macro/type names. - -Nanopb-0.2.9 (2014-08-09) -========================= - -Change semantics of generator -e option ---------------------------------------- -**Rationale:** Some compilers do not accept filenames with two dots (like -in default extension .pb.c). The *-e* option to the generator allowed changing -the extension, but not skipping the extra dot. - -**Changes:** The *-e* option in generator will no longer add the prepending -dot. The default value has been adjusted accordingly to *.pb.c* to keep the -default behaviour the same as before. - -**Required actions:** Only if using the generator -e option. Add dot before -the parameter value on the command line. - -**Error indications:** File not found when trying to compile generated files. - -Nanopb-0.2.7 (2014-04-07) -========================= - -Changed pointer-type bytes field datatype ------------------------------------------ -**Rationale:** In the initial pointer encoding support since nanopb-0.2.5, -the bytes type used a separate *pb_bytes_ptr_t* type to represent *bytes* -fields. This made it easy to encode data from a separate, user-allocated -buffer. However, it made the internal logic more complex and was inconsistent -with the other types. - -**Changes:** Dynamically allocated bytes fields now have the *pb_bytes_array_t* -type, just like statically allocated ones. - -**Required actions:** Only if using pointer-type fields with the bytes datatype. -Change any access to *msg->field.size* to *msg->field->size*. Change any -allocation to reserve space of amount *PB_BYTES_ARRAY_T_ALLOCSIZE(n)*. If the -data pointer was begin assigned from external source, implement the field using -a callback function instead. - -**Error indications:** Compiler error: unknown type name *pb_bytes_ptr_t*. - -Nanopb-0.2.4 (2013-11-07) -========================= - -Remove the NANOPB_INTERNALS compilation option ----------------------------------------------- -**Rationale:** Having the option in the headers required the functions to -be non-static, even if the option is not used. This caused errors on some -static analysis tools. - -**Changes:** The *#ifdef* and associated functions were removed from the -header. - -**Required actions:** Only if the *NANOPB_INTERNALS* option was previously -used. Actions are as listed under nanopb-0.1.3 and nanopb-0.1.6. - -**Error indications:** Compiler warning: implicit declaration of function -*pb_dec_string*, *pb_enc_string*, or similar. - -Nanopb-0.2.1 (2013-04-14) -========================= - -Callback function signature ---------------------------- -**Rationale:** Previously the auxilary data to field callbacks was passed -as *void\**. This allowed passing of any data, but made it unnecessarily -complex to return a pointer from callback. - -**Changes:** The callback function parameter was changed to *void\*\**. - -**Required actions:** You can continue using the old callback style by -defining *PB_OLD_CALLBACK_STYLE*. Recommended action is to: - - * Change the callback signatures to contain *void\*\** for decoders and - *void \* const \** for encoders. - * Change the callback function body to use *\*arg* instead of *arg*. - -**Error indications:** Compiler warning: assignment from incompatible -pointer type, when initializing *funcs.encode* or *funcs.decode*. - -Nanopb-0.2.0 (2013-03-02) -========================= - -Reformatted generated .pb.c file using macros ---------------------------------------------- -**Rationale:** Previously the generator made a list of C *pb_field_t* -initializers in the .pb.c file. This led to a need to regenerate all .pb.c -files after even small changes to the *pb_field_t* definition. - -**Changes:** Macros were added to pb.h which allow for cleaner definition -of the .pb.c contents. By changing the macro definitions, changes to the -field structure are possible without breaking compatibility with old .pb.c -files. - -**Required actions:** Regenerate all .pb.c files from the .proto sources. - -**Error indications:** Compiler warning: implicit declaration of function -*pb_delta_end*. - -Changed pb_type_t definitions ------------------------------ -**Rationale:** The *pb_type_t* was previously an enumeration type. This -caused warnings on some compilers when using bitwise operations to set flags -inside the values. - -**Changes:** The *pb_type_t* was changed to *typedef uint8_t*. The values -were changed to *#define*. Some value names were changed for consistency. - -**Required actions:** Only if you directly access the `pb_field_t` contents -in your own code, something which is not usually done. Needed changes: - - * Change *PB_HTYPE_ARRAY* to *PB_HTYPE_REPEATED*. - * Change *PB_HTYPE_CALLBACK* to *PB_ATYPE()* and *PB_ATYPE_CALLBACK*. - -**Error indications:** Compiler error: *PB_HTYPE_ARRAY* or *PB_HTYPE_CALLBACK* -undeclared. - -Nanopb-0.1.6 (2012-09-02) -========================= - -Refactored field decoder interface ----------------------------------- -**Rationale:** Similarly to field encoders in nanopb-0.1.3. - -**Changes:** New functions with names *pb_decode_\** were added. - -**Required actions:** By defining NANOPB_INTERNALS, you can still keep using -the old functions. Recommended action is to replace any calls with the newer -*pb_decode_\** equivalents. - -**Error indications:** Compiler warning: implicit declaration of function -*pb_dec_string*, *pb_dec_varint*, *pb_dec_submessage* or similar. - -Nanopb-0.1.3 (2012-06-12) -========================= - -Refactored field encoder interface ----------------------------------- -**Rationale:** The old *pb_enc_\** functions were designed mostly for the -internal use by the core. Because they are internally accessed through -function pointers, their signatures had to be common. This led to a confusing -interface for external users. - -**Changes:** New functions with names *pb_encode_\** were added. These have -easier to use interfaces. The old functions are now only thin wrappers for -the new interface. - -**Required actions:** By defining NANOPB_INTERNALS, you can still keep using -the old functions. Recommended action is to replace any calls with the newer -*pb_encode_\** equivalents. - -**Error indications:** Compiler warning: implicit declaration of function -*pb_enc_string*, *pb_enc_varint, *pb_enc_submessage* or similar. - |
