This allows building the tests easily on Visual C++ in C mode.
Also add checks to pb.h that the defined integer types are of
the proper sizes. This may prevent some difficult to debug problems
later..
Previously the generator would stop with NotImplementedException as
soon as a required or repeated extension field is found. New behaviour
is to just ignore the unsupported field and note that in a comment
in the generated file.
Furthermore, allow skipping of extension fields using the generator
option (nanopb).type = FT_IGNORE.

If the null terminator is not present, string will be limited to the
data size of the field.
If you are still using the pb_enc_string (deprecated since 0.1.3) from
callbacks, now would be an excellent time to stop. The pb_field_t for
the callback will not contain proper data_size. Use pb_encode_string()
instead.
Update issue 68
Status: FixedInGit
NOTE: This change breaks backwards-compatibility by default.
If you have old callback functions, you can define PB_OLD_CALLBACK_STYLE
to retain the old behaviour.
If you want to convert your old callbacks to new signature, you need
to do the following:
1) Change decode callback argument to void **arg
and encode callback argument to void * const *arg.
2) Change any reference to arg into *arg.
The rationale for making the new behaviour the default is that it
simplifies the common case of "allocate some memory in decode callback".

This is a more logical name in parallel with PB_HTYPE_REQUIRED and PB_HTYPE_OPTIONAL.
Warning: This breaks backwards-compatibility of generated .pb.c files.
You will have to regenerate the files and recompile.
This allows slight optimizations if only memory buffer support
(as opposed to stream callbacks) is wanted. On ARM difference
is -12% execution time, -4% code size when enabled.
This allows ignoring fields that are unnecessary or too large for an
embedded system using nanopb, while allowing them to remain in the .proto
for other platforms.
Update issue 51
Status: FixedInGit
It is not necessary to maintain full compatibility of generated files
for all of eternity, but this test will warn us if there is
a need to regenerate the files.
The __COUNTER__ macro (used for generating unique names) is at least supported
by gcc, clang and Visual Studio. With this change test_compiles.c is
compilable, since no more typedefs are redefined.
Compilers/Preprocessors not supporting __COUNTER__ error's are still possible
which are hopfully handled by the usage of __LINE__ in most sittuations.
Added unit test for the problem.
Rationale: it's easy to implement the callback wrong. Doing so introduces
io errors when unknown fields are present in the input. If code is not
tested with unknown fields, these bugs can remain hidden for long time.
Added a special case for the memory buffer stream, where it gives a small
speed benefit.
Added testcase for skipping fields with test_decode2 implementation.
Update issue 37
Status: FixedInGit
This makes the field decoding functions more intuitive to use.
The old interface is still present if you specify NANOPB_INTERNALS.
Update issue 2
Status: FixedInGit
Main code is now compiled (for tests) with -pedantic -Wextra.
The test programs are not as strictly bound, but this should
improve the chances that atleast the core library compiles with
most compilers without warnings.
