Duplicate Functions and Variables in Generated Package

We had the same issue, and a way to avoid this is to merge the protoc call into a single command, that way the vtprotobuf avoids the duplication. Try passing both protofiles to a single command instead:

protoc --proto_path=. --proto_path=../../../  \
  --go_out=../../../ --plugin protoc-gen-go=/go/bin/protoc-gen-go \
  --go-grpc_out=../../../ --plugin protoc-gen-go-grpc=/go/bin/protoc-gen-go-grpc \
  --grpc-gateway_out=../../../ \
  --go-vtproto_out=../../../ --plugin protoc-gen-go-vtproto=/go/bin/protoc-gen-go-vtproto \
  --go-vtproto_opt=features=marshal+unmarshal+size hellopb/service.proto hellopb/db.proto

Works perfectly, thanks @coufalja.

Would it be possible to support a flag to configure referencing the functions or generating unique names? (e.g. --go-vtproto_opt=include-functions=false) In my generation script, I had to write a hack to rename all the functions as it's not easy to pass all the protos.
