Update: I had hoped to just include grpcpp/ports_*def.inc but those headers are not always installed, so I had to add similar *.inc files to google/cloud/.

storage protos contain a method called GetObject. windows.h contains preprocessor macros that change all instances of GetObject to GetObjectA. protobuf and grpc have existing mechanisms to work around this macro. Previously we benefited from grpc's mechanism without needing to do anything ourselves, but that has changed. This PR leverages grpc's ports_def.inc and ports_undef.inc to restore that mechanism to our code.

Summary of Changes

Hello @scotthart, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves a specific compilation issue encountered on Windows platforms where the GetObject method in certain protobuf definitions clashes with a macro defined in windows.h. By strategically including gRPC's port definition and undefinition headers, the generated C++ client libraries now correctly handle these name conflicts, ensuring broader cross-platform compatibility without requiring manual intervention in generated files.

Highlights

  • Windows Portability Fix: Ensured cross-platform compatibility by addressing a specific Windows compilation issue where the GetObject method name in protobuf definitions conflicted with a macro in windows.h.
  • gRPC Port Definitions Integration: Integrated gRPC's ports_def.inc and ports_undef.inc headers into generated C++ client libraries to manage problematic preprocessor macros.
  • Automated Code Generation Update: Modified the code generation logic to automatically include these gRPC port definition files in relevant generated C++ headers and source files.

Code Review

This pull request addresses a Windows portability issue where the GetObject macro conflicts with method names in our generated code. The fix involves including grpcpp/ports_def.inc and grpcpp/ports_undef.inc around our code to undefine the problematic macro.

The changes are implemented correctly by:

  • Introducing new helper methods in ServiceCodeGenerator to handle the inclusion of the gRPC porting headers.
  • Updating all relevant code generators to use these new methods, ensuring that all generated files will include the necessary headers.
  • Regenerating a large number of files to apply the fix.

The changes are extensive but mechanical and necessary for Windows compatibility. The implementation is clean and correct. I have no further comments.
