title: How can I get time.Time in Golang protobuf v3 struct?
body: <p>I'm using the google time package <code>github.com/golang/protobuf/ptypes/timestamp</code> in protobuf message file  now.</p>
  <pre><code>google.protobuf.Timestamp UpdateTime = 9;
  </code></pre>
  <p>But the <code>UpdateTime</code> property becomes a pointer <code>*timestamp.Timestamp</code> in golang struct after protoc compiling, it's not a <code>time.Time</code> and I can't save these property into Mysql timestamp column.</p>
  <p>What can I do?</p>
