descriptor_database.cc:57] File already exists in database: EntityType.proto

[dominikacri]

I'm using protobuf-3.0.0.-beta3 but on execute my executable I get descriptor_database.cc:57] File already exists in database: EntityType.proto

shared lib A used in executable B
both use protobuffer as shared lib

exe and shared lib A generate the same EntityType.proto object (from same file)

Seems here is discussed the same problem for linux (and an older version of proto) but i use vs2015.

Maybe the patch from nobuhiro helps here. Not tested but seems to fix adding an already existing object.

If A and B shares the same proto type, I believe you will need to make a separate shared lib C containing the shared proto and make it a dependency of A and B.

god bless nobuhiro. other suggestions about linkage are useless when it comes to pybind

I am still getting the same failure in protobuf-24.4 used by PyTorch during the PyTorch initialization of onnx on FreeBSD 14.0
