Sync with 8 months of Google-internal development.
Many things have changed and been simplified.
The memory-management story for upb_def and upb_handlers
is much more robust; upb_def and upb_handlers should be
fairly stable interfaces now. There is still much work
to do for the runtime component (upb_sink).

Since it doesn't really have a name +besides "protobuf," calling this directory "google" seems like the +least confusing option. + +We support writing into protobuf's generated classes (and hopefully +reading too, before long). We support both the open source protobuf +release and the Google-internal version of the same code. The two +live in different namespaces, and the internal version supports some +features that are not supported in the open-source release. Also, the +internal version includes the legacy "proto1" classes which we must +support; thankfully this is mostly relegated to its own separate file. + +Our functionality requires the full google::protobuf::Message +interface; we rely on reflection so we know what fields to read/write +and where to put them, so we can't support MessageLite. |
