// DynamicMessage is implemented by constructing a data structure which
// has roughly the same memory layout as a generated message would have.
// Then, we use GeneratedMessageReflection to implement our reflection
// interface.  All the other operations we need to implement (e.g.
// parsing, copying, etc.) are already implemented in terms of
// Reflection, so the rest is easy.
//
// The up side of this strategy is that it's very efficient.  We don't
// need to use hash_maps or generic representations of fields.  The
// down side is that this is a low-level memory management hack which
// can be tricky to get right.
//
// As mentioned in the header, we only expose a DynamicMessageFactory
// publicly, not the DynamicMessage class itself.  This is because
// GenericMessageReflection wants to have a pointer to a "default"
// copy of the class, with all fields initialized to their default
// values.  We only want to construct one of these per message type,
// so DynamicMessageFactory stores a cache of default messages for
// each type it sees (each unique Descriptor pointer).  The code
// refers to the "default" copy of the class as the "prototype".
//
// Note on memory allocation:  This module often calls "operator new()"
// to allocate untyped memory, rather than calling something like
// "new uint8[]".  This is because "operator new()" means "Give me some
// space which I can use as I please." while "new uint8[]" means "Give
// me an array of 8-bit integers.".  In practice, the later may return
// a pointer that is not aligned correctly for general use.  I believe
// Item 8 of "More Effective C++" discusses this in more detail, though
// I don't have the book on me right now so I'm not sure.
