> Modules are currently not supported on Windows due to a couple limitations:
> * GCC and Clang export all symbols to shared libraries by default.  MSVC has the opposite behavior and does not export any symbols by default.  To properly create a shared library on Windows, one must {{__declspec(dllexport)}} every single exposed function/class.
> * CMake 3.4+ has utilities for auto-generating exports, but upgrading the CMake requirement has other version incompatibilities.
> * We can't load a statically linked module due to a runtime check in the protobuf library.
> For now, module-related code is not compiled on Windows.
