would be nice to show examples derived from real use cases to see where it works and where it doesn't yet work;

eg with no imports: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/src/caffe/proto/caffe.proto

more complex eg with imports: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/framework/graph.proto

eg: loading from prototxt text format: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/solver.prototxt

eg: loading from proto wire format: ...

loading from prototxt text format

what for? is it working somewhere?

timotheecour commented 8 years ago

if you're asking whether protocol buffer text format is used, yes it used extensively in companies that use protocol buffers; [that file provides such an example]. Use cases: conveniently define protos in a human readable way, eg in tests, when writing configuration, as a replacement for command line flags (1 flag as proto ascii format instead of multiple command line flags)

In my opinion this vicious practice must remain the problem of these companies

Care to elaborate? Which part of it is nasty? If google has a strong use case for it, I'm sure others have as well.
