Add 'library' directive to dart code generated using protoc - dart

Can someone tell me how to get protoc to generate dart files with a leading library directive?
I'm using the dart-protoc-plugin (v0.10.2) to generate my dart, c++, c#, js and java models from proto files. I was under the impression there was no way to get protoc to add a 'library' directive to the generated dart files, until I noticed the directive appearing in another project (see date.pb.dart).
If I take the same file (date.proto) I cannot get protoc to generate a dart file containing a 'library' directive.
In short: I want to take a .proto file with the following content
syntax = "proto3";
package another.proj.nspace;
message MyObj {
...
}
and produce a .dart file with a leading 'library' directive similar to the following snippet
///
// Generated code. Do not modify.
///
// ignore_for_file: non_constant_identifier_names,library_prefixes
library another.proj.nspace;
...
NOTE: I don't care about the actual value of the directive since I can restructure my code to get the desired result. I just need a way for protoc to add the library directive...
The basic command I'm using to generate the dart files is
protoc --proto_path=./ --dart_out="./" ./another/proj/nspace/date.proto
Unfortunately the dart-protoc-plugin's README isn't very helpful and I had to go through the source to find out which options are available; and currently it seems like the only dart-specific option is related to grpc.
I've tried options from the other languages (e.g. 'library', and 'basepath') without any success.
It would simplify my workflow quite a bit if this is possible, but I'm starting to get the impression that the library directive in date.pb.dart is added after the code was generated...

After asking around a little bit, it seems that the library directive was removed from the protoc plugin at some stage (see pull request), thus it is no longer supported.

Objectbox configuration for Swift Package

I would like to use objectbox inside a swift package, not inside a project, but on the documentation I couldn't find a procedure to follow to complete the operation.
I found no problem adding the library as a dependency:
.package(url: "https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-swift", from: "1.8.0")
My problem is finding the correct strategy to use the code generator.
The documentation and scripts in the package say to call Sourcery like this:
"$sourcery" --xcode-project "${PROJECT_FILE_PATH}" --xcode-target "${TARGETNAME}" $MODULENAME1 $MODULENAME2 $#
In my case, the entities are present in my Package, so inside a directory, it would be correct if I use the Sourcery based ObjectBox code generator indicating the path "source" and the "output" instead of the project "--xcode-project " and of the "target"?
If this is not the correct way to go, do you have alternative ideas?

unable to find `as` method in `Config`

I saw the following code snippet
val settings = configuration.underlying.as[CookieSecretSettings]("silhouette.oauth1TokenSecretProvider")
I believe configuration is of type play.api.Configuration and underlying is of typeConfig` (https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/api/scala/index.html#play.api.Configuration)
I copied the code in my Apploader (as I am using Compile Time Injection). The BuiltInComponentsFromContext has a configuration variable. I thought to use that as follows val config = configuration.underlying.as[CookieAuthenticatorSettings]("silhouette.authenticator") but the compiler cannot resolve as. What am I doing wrong?
The Config library seem to have asInstanceOf instead of as but I get other errors if I use that. I notice that the code for which as works uses play version 2.4.2 while I am using 2.6.12.
I realize this is an old question, but I stumbled upon this exact problem today and couldn't find anything helpful.
The as method is provided by a third-party library (Ficus) to read case classes and Scala types from Typesafe config. You need to include it in your build dependencies, then add to imports:
import net.ceedubs.ficus.Ficus._
import net.ceedubs.ficus.readers.ArbitraryTypeReader._

AST of a project by Clang

I use the Clang python binding to extract the AST of c/c++ files. It works perfectly for a simple program I wrote. The problem is when I want to employ it for a big project like openssl. I can run clang for any single file of the project, but clang seems to miss some headers of the project, and just gives me the AST of a few functions of the file, not all of the functions. I set the include folder by -I, but still getting part of the functions.
This is my code:
import clang.cindex as cl
cl.Config.set_library_path(clang_lib_dir)
index = cl.Index.create()
lib = 'Path to include folder'
args = ['-I{}'.format(lib)]
translation_unit = index.parse(source_file, args=args)
my_get_info(translation_unit.cursor)
I receive too many header files not found errors.
UPDATE
I used Make to compile openssl by clang? I can pass -emit-ast option to clang to dump the ast of each file, but I cannot read it now by the clang python binding.
Any clues how I can save the the serialized representation of the translation units so that I will be able to read it by index.read()?
Thank you!
You would "simply" need to provide the right args. But be aware of two possible issues.
Different files may require different arguments for parsing. The easiest solution is to obtain compilation database and then extract compile commands from it. If you go this way be aware that you would need to filter out the arguments a bit and remove things like -c FooBar.cpp (potentially some others), otherwise you may get something like ASTReadError.
Another issue is that the include paths (-I ...) may be relative to the source directory. I.e., if a file main.cpp compiled from a directory /opt/project/ with -I include/path argument, then before calling index.parse(source_file, args=args) you need to step in (chdir) into the /opt/project, and when you are done you will probably need to go back to the original working directory. So the code may look like this (pseudocode):
cwd = getcwd()
chdir('/opt/project')
translation_unit = index.parse(source_file, args=args)
chdir(cwd)
I hope it helps.

Generating a Vapi file for a Vala library

I've got a library written in Vala that has always worked fine generating a .vapi file for itself, I think because it's a free operation with valac but I'm not positive on that. I went and tried to use VAPIGEN_CHECK in my configure.ac file and the associated VAPIGEN_MAKEFILE in my Makefile.am and now I get:
error: The type name `GLib.TypeInstance' could not be found
My corresponding .gir file contains:
<field name="parent_instance">
<type name="GObject.TypeInstance" c:type="GTypeInstance"/>
</field>
So the error seems to make sense because I can't find the GObject.TypeInstance class/struct in any .vapi file, but GTypeInstance is in one of the GLib headers.
Should I even be doing it this way if I'm writing everything in Vala already? Is there a possibility that this is missing from the Vapi?
Edit: Possibly just due to my not deriving GLib.Object which I thought was implicit. Still trying to fix something else that prevents this but once that's done I will update this to say whether or not it actually matters.
To generate a VAPI file from a Vala program you should simply use the --vapi option with valac, e.g.:
valac --vapi my_library_name.vapi my_library.vala
From what you are describing I think you are generating a GIR (GObject Introspection Repository) file with valac, then using vapigen to create the VAPI file. vapigen is part of Vala and maintained in the Vala source code, but it is a tool for generating a VAPI file to bind to non-Vala projects. If the non-Vala project distributes a GIR file it makes the binding very easy.
When using vapigen you need to give the packages it uses, so you need to check you are including the right pkg-config flags, e.g.:
vapigen --pkg glib-2.0 --pkg gobject-2.0 my_library.gir
The other possibility is there is no binding for GTypeInstance in Vala. I've had a quick look and I'm not finding anything.

[perl]How to force perl use modules in my own path?

I want to let perl use the DBI module in my own path(suppose, /home/users/zdd/perl5/lib/DBI), but the sysem also has a DBI module which is /usr/lib/perl5/lib/DBI.
when I write the following code in my script, perl use the system path be default, how to force it use the one under my path?
use lib './perl5/lib/DBI';
use DBI;
sub test {
....
}
/usr/lib/perl5/lib/DBI was added to the PATH environment variable in my bash profile, it was used by many scripts, so I can't disable it.
The file for the main DBI module is in ./perl5/lib. So your path is not pointing to it.
The DBI folder contains sub-modules of DBI, e.g. DBI::Foo (the :: in module names is a representation of your module directory structure).
Try using ./perl5/lib as your library instead.
Also, using a relative path will fail if the current directory is not what you think it is. If you are in doubt, have your script call cwd to see what the current directory is.
For debugging purposes, it may be helpful to use:
no lib '[main Perl module library path here]';
That way you can be sure you are only using your custom module path. Any failure to find a module will cause an error, rather than silently using the system version.
Update: For more information, see Perldoc on use lib. Perl will use the library that you have specified first. If it does not, that indicates it is not actually finding the module in the location you have given.
In addition to what dan1111 suggested, I would also recommend you print out #INC (just before your use DBI statement) and dump %INC (just after your use DBI statement) to see what your script is doing. That may help you debug the issue.
