What language does this apply to? If it's a proto syntax change, is it for proto2 or proto3? If it's about generated code change, what programming language?

Describe the problem you are trying to solve. import proto files from different files Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

In the addressbook.proto I use the import "msg_a/a.proto" to import the a.proto, But when i make ,there was an error:

XXXXX/build/msg_b/addressbook.pb.cc:136:6: error: ‘::descriptor_table_msg_5fa_2fa_2eproto’ has not been declared &::descriptor_table_msg_5fa_2fa_2eproto, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ XXXXX/build/msg_b/addressbook.pb.cc:136:6: note: suggested alternative: ‘descriptor_table_a_2eproto’ &::descriptor_table_msg_5fa_2fa_2eproto, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ descriptor_table_a_2eproto
