gcc-3.4编译google protocol buffer 2.4.0a

gcc 3.4是比较老的编译器，用它来编译最新版protobuf 2.4.0a的话，可能会有如下错误：

google/protobuf/descriptor.cc: In member function `virtual const google::protobuf::FieldDescriptor* google::protobuf::DescriptorBuilder::OptionInterpreter::AggregateOptionFinder::FindExtension(google::protobuf::Message*, const std::string&) const':
./google/protobuf/descriptor.h:1152: error: `google::protobuf::internal::Mutex*google::protobuf::DescriptorPool::mutex_' is private
google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:4341: error: within this context
./google/protobuf/descriptor.h:1152: error: `google::protobuf::internal::Mutex*google::protobuf::DescriptorPool::mutex_' is private
google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:4342: error: within this context
make[2]: *** [descriptor.lo] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/liangry/download/protobuf-2.4.0a'
make: *** [all] Error 2

需打上以下补丁：

--- ./src/google/protobuf/descriptor.cc 2011-02-02 22:08:47.000000000 +0800 +++ ./src/google/protobuf/descriptor.cc 2011-04-07 10:35:29.000000000 +0800 @@ -2160,6 +2160,11 @@ static inline bool get_is_placeholder(const Descriptor* descriptor) { return descriptor->is_placeholder_; } + static inline void assert_mutex_held(const DescriptorPool* pool) { + if (pool->mutex_ != NULL) { + pool->mutex_->AssertHeld(); + } + } // Must be run only after options have been interpreted. // @@ -4338,9 +4343,12 @@ virtual const FieldDescriptor* FindExtension( Message* message, const string& name) const { + /* if (builder_->pool_->mutex_ != NULL) { builder_->pool_->mutex_->AssertHeld(); } + */ + assert_mutex_held(builder_->pool_); Symbol result = builder_->LookupSymbolNoPlaceholder( name, message->GetDescriptor()->full_name()); if (result.type == Symbol::FIELD &&

在protobuf-2.4.0a编译目录下，把上述内容保存为protobuf_gcc3.4.patch，然后输入以下命令即可。
$ patch -p0 < protobuf_gcc3.4.patch
patching file ./src/google/protobuf/descriptor.cc
