📝Protobuf: for oneof fields, it is impossible to know if field is missing or unrecognized
If you have a oneof
field, it is impossible to know if it’s missing or it was passed an unrecognized field (e.g., by updated message definition on the other side). This happens because oneof
are not encoded in the wire.
Furthermore, proto2 extensions are not supported in oneof
fields, so there is not way to reserve fields either.
