Helps simplify code generation code. Instead of this:
code += "inline const " + cpp_qualified_name + " *Get";
code += name;
code += "(const void *buf) {\n return flatbuffers::GetRoot<";
code += cpp_qualified_name + ">(buf);\n}\n\n";
You do this:
code.SetValue("NAME", struct_def.name);
code.SetValue("CPP_NAME", cpp_qualified_name);
code += "inline const {{CPP_NAME}} *Get{{NAME}}(const void *buf) {";
code += " return flatbuffers::GetRoot<{{CPP_NAME}}>(buf);";
code += "}";
code += "";
Updated the CPP code generator to use the CodeWriter class. Most of the
changes in the generated code are white-space changes, esp. around new
lines (since the code generator class automatically appends new lines
when appending a string). Actual code changes include:
* Renamed "rehasher" to "_rehasher" for consistency with other args in
Pack function.
* Renamed "union_obj" to "obj: in UnPack function.
* Always do "(void)_o;" to prevent unused variable warning in Create
function (instead of only doing it if there are no fields) in order
to avoid two-passes.
* Renamed padding variables from __paddingX to paddingX__.
"Each name that contains a double underscore (_ _) [...] is reserved
to the implementation for any use." C++ standards 17.4.3.1.2.
* Add braces around switch cases.
* Calculate index as a separate statement in EnumName function, eg.
const size_t index = ...;
return EnumNamesX()[index];
vs.
return EnumNamesX()[...];
* Stored end table offset in variable in Finish() functions, eg.
const auto end = fbb_.EndTable(start_, ...);
auto o = flatbuffers::Offset<T>(end);
vs.
auto o = flatbuffers::Offset<T>(fbb_.EndTable(start, ...));
* Separate reinterpret_cast calls from function calls in Union
functions, eg.
auto ptr = reinterpret_cast<const T *>(obj);
return ptr->UnPack(resolver);
vs.
return reinterpret_cast<const T *>(obj)->UnPack(resolver);
* Removed unecessary (void)(padding__X) no-ops from constructors, eg.
Test(int16_t a, int8_t b) : ... {
(void)__padding0; // <-- Removed this line.
}
In the idl_gen_cpp.cpp file itself, I refactored some code generation into
new functions: GenParam, GenNativeTable, GenVerifyCall, GenBuilders,
GenUnpackFieldStatement, and GenCreateParam.

FlatBuffers
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.
