========
A tool to decompile protobuf parser/serializer classes compiled by [protoc ](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf ), from dotnet assemblies back into .proto definitions.

Usage: protodec(.exe) < target_assembly_path > < out_path > [options]
2023-04-24 04:10:40 +00:00
Arguments:
target_assembly_path Either a single assembly or a directory of assemblies to be parsed.
out_path An existing directory to output into individual files, otherwise output to a single file.

Options:
--skip_enums Skip parsing enums and replace references to then with int32.
--include_runtime_assemblies Add the assemblies of the current runtime to the search path.

Limitations
-----------
- Integers are assumed to be (u)int32/64 as C# doesn't differentiate between them and sint32/64 and (s)fixed32/64.
This could be solved by parsing the writer methods, however this wouldn't work on hollow assemblies such as DummyDlls produced by Il2CppDumper
### Il2CppDumper
- The Name parameter of OriginalNameAttribute is not dumped. In this case the C# names are used after conforming them to protobuf conventions
- Dumped assemblies depend on strong-named core libs, however the ones dumped are not strong-named.
This interferes with loading and can be bypassed by loading the strong-named libs from your runtime by passing the `--include_runtime_assemblies` flag
