NOTE: This is a binary breaking change as structure sizes have changed size
and/or order.
- Drop capturing field options, no other options were captured and other mobile
targeted languages don't try to capture this sort information (saved 8
bytes for every field defined (in static data and again in field descriptor
instance size data).
- No longer generate/compile in the messages/enums in descriptor.proto. If
developers need it, they should generate it and compile it in. Reduced the
overhead of the core library.
- Compute the number of has_bits actually needs to avoid over reserving.
- Let the boolean single fields store via a has_bit to avoid storage, makes
the common cases of the instance size smaller.
- Reorder some flags and down size the enums to contain the bits needed.
- Reorder the items in the structures to manually ensure they are are packed
better (especially when generating 64bit code - 8 bytes for every field,
16 bytes for every extension, instance sizes 8 bytes also).
- Split off the structure initialization so when the default is zero, the
generated static storage doesn't need to reserve the space. This is batched
at the message level, so all the fields for the message have to have zero
defaults to get the saves. By definition all proto3 syntax files fall into
this case but it also saves space for the proto2 that use the standard
defaults. (saves 8 bytes of static data for every field that had a zero
default)
- Don't track the enums defined by a message. Nothing in the runtime needs it
and it was just generation and runtime overhead. (saves 8 bytes per enum)
- Ensure EnumDescriptors are started up threadsafe in all cases.
- Split some of the Descriptor initialization into multiple methods so the
generated code isn't padded with lots of zero/nil args.
- Change how oneof info is feed to the runtime enabling us to generate less
static data (8 bytes saved per oneof for 64bit).
- Change how enum value informat is capture to pack the data and only decode
it if it ends up being needed. Avoids padding issues causing bloat of 64bit,
and removes the needs for extra pointers in addition to the data (just the
data and one pointer now).
- Convert most of the core library headers over to HeaderDoc format.
- Switch the generated comments over to HeaderDoc.
- Create GPBCodedOutputStream_PackagePrivate and move some things into there
that should be more internal.
Apple engineers have pointed out that OSSpinLocks are vulnerable to live locking
on iOS in cases of priority inversion:

- Use a dispatch_semaphore_t within the extension registry.
- Use a dispatch_semaphore_t for protecting autocreation within messages.
- Drop the custom/internal GPBString class since we don't have really good
numbers to judge the locking replacements and it isn't required. We can
always bring it back with real data in the future.
- Let Xcode update the projects, schemes, and info.plists.
- Add workaround for shallow analyzer issues in current Xcode versions (deep analyze gets things correct).
- Tweak the Swift based tests to avoid warnings from Xcode 7's XCTest using optionals for autoenclosure results.
- No longer tag the ObjC iOS travis test as flaky, xctool seems to manage the simulator pretty well.
NS_ENUM changes defintion in Objective C++ based on the C++ spec being
compiled with, special case the one situation where it wouldn't support doing a
forward decl for the enum.
- Add more to the ObjC dir readme.
- Merge the ExtensionField and ExtensionDescriptor to reduce overhead.
- Fix an initialization race.
- Clean up the Xcode schemes.
- Remove the class/enum filter.
- Remove some forced inline that were bloating things without proof of performance wins.
- Rename some internal types to avoid conflicts with the well know types protos.
- Drop the use of ApplyFunctions to the compiler/optimizer can do what it wants.
- Better document some possible future improvements.
- Add missing support for parsing repeated primitive fields in packed or unpacked forms.
- Improve -hash.
- Add *Count for repeated and map<> fields to avoid auto create when checking for them being set.
- Shouldn't need SRCROOT in the project since Xcode should be setting the working directory to where the project lives.
- Remove the packed/unpacked repeated enum field in the tests and update the code to handle the defaults.
- Move up the ignore to cover .DS_Store files in src also.
add starstar
- Style fixups in the code.
- map<> serialization fixes and more tests.
- Autocreation of map<> fields (to match repeated fields).
- @@protoc_insertion_point(global_scope|imports).
- Fixup proto2 syntax extension support.
- Move all startup code to +initialize so it happen on class usage and not app startup.
- Have generated headers use forward declarations and move imports into generated code, reduces what is need at compile time to speed up compiled and avoid pointless rippling of rebuilds.
