protocolbuffers
Add version to header comment of generated source.
What language does this apply to?
I’m raising it for Python but this change would probably be useful for all supported languages.
Describe the problem you are trying to solve.
Frequent version changes of the gRPC tools require generated code to keep in step with tools changes. That can be difficult to maintain.
Describe the solution you'd like
Generated code should contain the version number of the protoc it was built with, e.g. for generated Python code:
# Generated by the protocol buffer compiler: libprotoc 3.19.5. DO NOT EDIT!
Describe alternatives you've considered
I currently wrap the protoc invocation in a shell script and use sed to inject that version number.
