getProtoFileList

public java.util.List<DescriptorProtos.FileDescriptorProto> getProtoFileList()

 FileDescriptorProtos for all files in files_to_generate and everything
 they import.  The files will appear in topological order, so each file
 appears before any file that imports it.
 protoc guarantees that all proto_files will be written after
 the fields above, even though this is not technically guaranteed by the
 protobuf wire format.  This theoretically could allow a plugin to stream
 in the FileDescriptorProtos and handle them one by one rather than read
 the entire set into memory at once.  However, as of this writing, this
 is not similarly optimized on protoc's end -- it will store all fields in
 memory at once before sending them to the plugin.
 Type names of fields and extensions in the FileDescriptorProto are always
 fully qualified.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Description copied from interface: Message

Compares the specified object with this message for equality. Returns true if the given object is a message of the same type (as defined by getDescriptorForType()) and has identical values for all of its fields. Subclasses must implement this; inheriting Object.equals() is incorrect.

Specified by:

equals in interface Message

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractMessage

Parameters:

obj - object to be compared for equality with this message

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal to this message

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the hash code value for this message. The hash code of a message should mix the message's type (object identity of the descriptor) with its contents (known and unknown field values). Subclasses must implement this; inheriting Object.hashCode() is incorrect.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Message

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractMessage

Returns:

the hash code value for this message

getDefaultInstanceForType

public PluginProtos.CodeGeneratorRequest getDefaultInstanceForType()

Description copied from interface: MessageLiteOrBuilder

Get an instance of the type with no fields set. Because no fields are set, all getters for singular fields will return default values and repeated fields will appear empty. This may or may not be a singleton. This differs from the getDefaultInstance() method of generated message classes in that this method is an abstract method of the MessageLite interface whereas getDefaultInstance() is a static method of a specific class. They return the same thing.
