// Defines Message, the abstract interface implemented by non-lite
// protocol message objects.  Although it's possible to implement this
// interface manually, most users will use the protocol compiler to
// generate implementations.
//
// Example usage:
//
// Say you have a message defined as:
//
//   message Foo {
//     optional string text = 1;
//     repeated int32 numbers = 2;
//   }
//
// Then, if you used the protocol compiler to generate a class from the above
// definition, you could use it like so:
//
//   string data;  // Will store a serialized version of the message.
//
//   {
//     // Create a message and serialize it.
//     Foo foo;
//     foo.set_text("Hello World!");
//     foo.add_numbers(1);
//     foo.add_numbers(5);
//     foo.add_numbers(42);
//
//     foo.SerializeToString(&data);
//   }
//
//   {
//     // Parse the serialized message and check that it contains the
//     // correct data.
//     Foo foo;
//     foo.ParseFromString(data);
//
//     assert(foo.text() == "Hello World!");
//     assert(foo.numbers_size() == 3);
//     assert(foo.numbers(0) == 1);
//     assert(foo.numbers(1) == 5);
//     assert(foo.numbers(2) == 42);
//   }
//
//   {
//     // Same as the last block, but do it dynamically via the Message
//     // reflection interface.
//     Message* foo = new Foo;
//     const Descriptor* descriptor = foo->GetDescriptor();
//
//     // Get the descriptors for the fields we're interested in and verify
//     // their types.
//     const FieldDescriptor* text_field = descriptor->FindFieldByName("text");
//     assert(text_field != NULL);
//     assert(text_field->type() == FieldDescriptor::TYPE_STRING);
//     assert(text_field->label() == FieldDescriptor::LABEL_OPTIONAL);
//     const FieldDescriptor* numbers_field = descriptor->
//                                            FindFieldByName("numbers");
//     assert(numbers_field != NULL);
//     assert(numbers_field->type() == FieldDescriptor::TYPE_INT32);
//     assert(numbers_field->label() == FieldDescriptor::LABEL_REPEATED);
//

//     assert(reflection->GetRepeatedInt32(*foo, numbers_field, 1) == 5);
//     assert(reflection->GetRepeatedInt32(*foo, numbers_field, 2) == 42);

//
// To get the Reflection for a given Message, call Message::GetReflection().
//
// This interface is separate from Message only for efficiency reasons;
// the vast majority of implementations of Message will share the same
// implementation of Reflection (GeneratedMessageReflection,
// defined in generated_message.h), and all Messages of a particular class
// should share the same Reflection object (though you should not rely on
// the latter fact).
//
// There are several ways that these methods can be used incorrectly.  For
// example, any of the following conditions will lead to undefined
// results (probably assertion failures):
// - The FieldDescriptor is not a field of this message type.
// - The method called is not appropriate for the field's type.  For
//   each field type in FieldDescriptor::TYPE_*, there is only one
//   Get*() method, one Set*() method, and one Add*() method that is
//   valid for that type.  It should be obvious which (except maybe
//   for TYPE_BYTES, which are represented using strings in C++).
// - A Get*() or Set*() method for singular fields is called on a repeated
//   field.
// - GetRepeated*(), SetRepeated*(), or Add*() is called on a non-repeated
//   field.
// - The Message object passed to any method is not of the right type for
//   this Reflection object (i.e. message.GetReflection() != reflection).
//
// You might wonder why there is not any abstract representation for a field
// of arbitrary type.  E.g., why isn't there just a "GetField()" method that
// returns "const Field&", where "Field" is some class with accessors like
// "GetInt32Value()".  The problem is that someone would have to deal with
// allocating these Field objects.  For generated message classes, having to
// allocate space for an additional object to wrap every field would at least
// double the message's memory footprint, probably worse.  Allocating the
// objects on-demand, on the other hand, would be expensive and prone to
// memory leaks.  So, instead we ended up with this flat interface.
