StackOverflowError with protobuf type google.protobuf.Value

[jfgosselin]

I'm getting a StackOverflowError in the ProtocPluginCodeGenerator when a protobuf type google.protobuf.Value is used:

message CreateEchoRequest {
    int64 id = 1;
    EchoContent content = 2;
    google.protobuf.Value foo = 3;
}

Ah, this is because Value has a circular definition inside it (Value -> ListValue -> Value), and the code that visits primitive fields chokes on it. I'll take a closer look at how to get around this.

Any solution to this? I have been facing the same issue, and I am not able to get around it. The proto file is provided by an upstream application, so I don't have control over the contents.
