Includes are now via upb/foo.h.
Files specific to the protobuf format are
now in upb/pb (the core library is concerned
with message definitions, handlers, and
byte streams, but knows nothing about any
particular serializationf format).
|
|
|
|
Next on the chopping block is upb_string.
|
|
I'm realizing that basically all upb objects
will need to be refcounted to be sharable
across languages, but *not* messages which
are on their way out so we can get out of
the business of data representations.
Things which must be refcounted:
- encoders, decoders
- handlers objects
- defs
|
|
Now the dispatcher will call error handlers
instaed of returning statuses that the caller
has to constantly check.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This doesn't reflect any material change in
how I will be working on upb, and I have no
problem making this change. It's still open
source under the BSD license, and I'll still
be working on it well beyond the hours that
constitute a normal job.

This is a significant change to the upb_stream
protocol, and should hopefully be the last
significant change.
All callbacks are now registered ahead-of-time
instead of having delegated callbacks registered
at runtime, which makes it much easier to
aggressively optimize ahead-of-time (like with a
JIT).
Other impacts of this change:
- You no longer need to have loaded descriptor.proto
as a upb_def to load other descriptors! This means
the special-case code we used for bootstrapping is
no longer necessary, and we no longer need to link
the descriptor for descriptor.proto into upb.
- A client can now register any upb_value as what
will be delivered to their value callback, not
just a upb_fielddef*. This should allow for other
clients to get more bang out of the streaming
decoder.
This change unfortunately causes a bit of a performance
regression -- I think largely due to highly
suboptimal code that GCC generates when structs
are returned by value. See:
http://blog.reverberate.org/2011/03/19/when-a-compilers-slow-code-actually-bites-you/
On the other hand, once we have a JIT this should
no longer matter.

Default values are now supported, and the Lua extension
can now create and modify individual protobuf objects.
|
|
The symtab that contains them is now hidden, and
you can look them up by name but there is no access
to the symtab itself, so there is no risk of
mutating it (by extending it, adding other defs
to it, etc).
|
|
It is slower than the C decoder for now because it
falls off the fast path too often. But it can
successfully decode varints, fixed32 and fixed64.
|
|
upb_inttable() now supports a "compact" operation that will
decide on an array size and put all entries with small enough
keys into the array part for faster lookup.
Also exposed the upb_itof_ent structure and put a few useful
values there, so they are one fewer pointer chase away.

One simplification to come.

"make descriptorgen" is now valgrind-clean again.
|
|
There is currently a memory leak when type definitions
form cycles. This will need to be dealt with.

|
The context owns a reference on each def, defs own references
on defs they reference, and msgs own refs on their def.
|
|
This is in anticipation of making upb_msgdef's easy
to dup. This involved removing all traces of any
descriptors from the defs.
