Wouter van Oortmerssen c66683f27f Add ::Set function to Unions to make memory ownership clear.
Unions own the NativeTable* value member because they need to destroy them
when the Union goes out of scope.  Currently, the data is destroyed by calling
delete, which means that the member needs to be allocated with new.  However,
making the allocation the responsibility of the client and the destruction
the responsibility of the Union can lead to potential errors.  Adding a
Set function will ensure that the memory is allocated correctly so that it
can be deleted later.

FlatBuffers is an efficient cross platform serialization library for games and other memory constrained apps. It allows you to directly access serialized data without unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility.

Integration

For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked. This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string (flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect your application at all. We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if you would leave it in.
