* Improve Allocator handling - Templatize Allocator on vector_downward, and make it own the allocator instance so it can manage lifetimes. - Templatize + rename FlatBufferBuilderT accordingly, and add a typedef to FlatBufferBuilder so old code continues to work. - Fix some issues with the release deleter - More details in github issue #4311 * Fix constexpr for older MSVC * Reimplement allocator improvements via inheritance Instead of templates, use an abstract base class and some unique_ptrs to implement the new and improved allocator. * Fix misplaced newline * Add missing override keyword * Add macro for func delete to support older compilers * Explicitly move BufferDeleter (maybe fixes VS 10?) * Revert previous attempt at VS10 fix * Try yet another workaround for MS 10 * Use FLATBUFFERS_NOEXCEPT macro * Add FLATBUFFERS_OVERRIDE macro * Fix some issues with MSVC 16 hack * Remove dep on unique_ptr * Update DEPRECATED macro with a message * Sigh, no delegating ctors before c++11 * Fix simple_allocator stub * Relax FlatBufferBuilder ctor * Add vector_downward reset + assert in clear * Rename DetachedBuffer to FlatBuffer + remove unnecessary deprecations * Add flatbuffers::FlatBufferBuilder::Release() * Address remaining allocator-improvements comments
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.
