Detailed Description

An instance of a message.

ProtobufCMessage is a light-weight "base class" for all messages.

In particular, ProtobufCMessage doesn't have any allocation policy associated with it. That's because it's common to create ProtobufCMessage objects on the stack. In fact, that's what we recommend for sending messages. If the object is allocated from the stack, you can't really have a memory leak.

This means that calls to functions like protobuf_c_message_unpack() which return a ProtobufCMessage must be paired with a call to a free function, like protobuf_c_message_free_unpacked().
