Older versions of GCC (at least on ARM) complain about narrowing conversions and
overflows when setting the reference index (defined as an 11-bit signed integer
bitfield) to -1:
```
error: narrowing conversion of '-1' from 'int' to 'short unsigned int' inside { } [-Wnarrowing]
error: conversion from 'short unsigned int' to 'short unsigned int:11' changes value from '65535' to '2047'
```
This is due to the signedness of integer bitfields (not explicitly signed or
unsigned) being implementation-defined. This addresses this issue by explicitly
defining the signedness of all the bitfields in `flatbuffers::TypeCode` in C++.
FlatBuffers
FlatBuffers is a cross platform serialization library architected for maximum memory efficiency. It allows you to directly access serialized data without parsing/unpacking it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility.
