// This class implements the command-line interface to the protocol compiler.
// It is designed to make it very easy to create a custom protocol compiler
// supporting the languages of your choice.  For example, if you wanted to
// create a custom protocol compiler binary which includes both the regular
// C++ support plus support for your own custom output "Foo", you would
// write a class "FooGenerator" which implements the CodeGenerator interface,
// then write a main() procedure like this:
//
//   int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
//     google::protobuf::compiler::CommandLineInterface cli;
//
//     // Support generation of C++ source and headers.
//     google::protobuf::compiler::cpp::CppGenerator cpp_generator;
//     cli.RegisterGenerator("--cpp_out", &cpp_generator,
//       "Generate C++ source and header.");
//
//     // Support generation of Foo code.
//     FooGenerator foo_generator;
//     cli.RegisterGenerator("--foo_out", &foo_generator,
//       "Generate Foo file.");
//
//     return cli.Run(argc, argv);
//   }
//
// The compiler is invoked with syntax like:
//   protoc --cpp_out=outdir --foo_out=outdir --proto_path=src src/foo.proto
//
// The .proto file to compile can be specified on the command line using either
// its physical file path, or a virtual path relative to a directory specified
// in --proto_path. For example, for src/foo.proto, the following two protoc
// invocations work the same way:
//   1. protoc --proto_path=src src/foo.proto (physical file path)
//   2. protoc --proto_path=src foo.proto (virtual path relative to src)
//
// If a file path can be interpreted both as a physical file path and as a
// relative virtual path, the physical file path takes precedence.
//
// For a full description of the command-line syntax, invoke it with --help.

  // Register a code generator for a language.
  //
  // Parameters:
  // * flag_name: The command-line flag used to specify an output file of
  //   this type.  The name must start with a '-'.  If the name is longer
  //   than one letter, it must start with two '-'s.
  // * generator: The CodeGenerator which will be called to generate files
  //   of this type.
  // * help_text: Text describing this flag in the --help output.
  //
  // Some generators accept extra parameters.  You can specify this parameter
  // on the command-line by placing it before the output directory, separated
  // by a colon:
  //   protoc --foo_out=enable_bar:outdir
  // The text before the colon is passed to CodeGenerator::Generate() as the
  // "parameter".

                         const std::string& help_text);
 
  // Register a code generator for a language.
  // Besides flag_name you can specify another option_flag_name that could be
  // used to pass extra parameters to the registered code generator.
  // Suppose you have registered a generator by calling:
  //   command_line_interface.RegisterGenerator("--foo_out", "--foo_opt", ...)
  // Then you could invoke the compiler with a command like:
  //   protoc --foo_out=enable_bar:outdir --foo_opt=enable_baz
  // This will pass "enable_bar,enable_baz" as the parameter to the generator.
  void RegisterGenerator(const std::string& flag_name,
                         const std::string& option_flag_name,
                         CodeGenerator* generator,

  // Enables "plugins".  In this mode, if a command-line flag ends with "_out"
  // but does not match any registered generator, the compiler will attempt to
  // find a "plugin" to implement the generator.  Plugins are just executables.
  // They should live somewhere in the PATH.
  //
  // The compiler determines the executable name to search for by concatenating
  // exe_name_prefix with the unrecognized flag name, removing "_out".  So, for
  // example, if exe_name_prefix is "protoc-" and you pass the flag --foo_out,
  // the compiler will try to run the program "protoc-gen-foo".
  //
  // The plugin program should implement the following usage:
  //   plugin [--out=OUTDIR] [--parameter=PARAMETER] PROTO_FILES < DESCRIPTORS
  // --out indicates the output directory (as passed to the --foo_out
  // parameter); if omitted, the current directory should be used.  --parameter
  // gives the generator parameter, if any was provided (see below).  The
  // PROTO_FILES list the .proto files which were given on the compiler
  // command-line; these are the files for which the plugin is expected to
  // generate output code.  Finally, DESCRIPTORS is an encoded FileDescriptorSet
  // (as defined in descriptor.proto).  This is piped to the plugin's stdin.
  // The set will include descriptors for all the files listed in PROTO_FILES as
  // well as all files that they import.  The plugin MUST NOT attempt to read
  // the PROTO_FILES directly -- it must use the FileDescriptorSet.
  //
  // The plugin should generate whatever files are necessary, as code generators
  // normally do.  It should write the names of all files it generates to
  // stdout.  The names should be relative to the output directory, NOT absolute
  // names or relative to the current directory.  If any errors occur, error
  // messages should be written to stderr.  If an error is fatal, the plugin
  // should exit with a non-zero exit code.
  //
  // Plugins can have generator parameters similar to normal built-in
  // generators. Extra generator parameters can be passed in via a matching
  // "_opt" parameter. For example:
  //   protoc --plug_out=enable_bar:outdir --plug_opt=enable_baz
  // This will pass "enable_bar,enable_baz" as the parameter to the plugin.
  //
