// Interface to light weight protocol messages.
//
// This interface is implemented by all protocol message objects.  Non-lite
// messages additionally implement the Message interface, which is a
// subclass of MessageLite.  Use MessageLite instead when you only need
// the subset of features which it supports -- namely, nothing that uses
// descriptors or reflection.  You can instruct the protocol compiler
// to generate classes which implement only MessageLite, not the full
// Message interface, by adding the following line to the .proto file:
//
//   option optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME;
//
// This is particularly useful on resource-constrained systems where
// the full protocol buffers runtime library is too big.
//
// Note that on non-constrained systems (e.g. servers) when you need
// to link in lots of protocol definitions, a better way to reduce
// total code footprint is to use optimize_for = CODE_SIZE.  This
// will make the generated code smaller while still supporting all the
// same features (at the expense of speed).  optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME
// is best when you only have a small number of message types linked
// into your binary, in which case the size of the protocol buffers
// runtime itself is the biggest problem.

  // to hold parts of the message will be needed again to hold the next
  // message.  If you actually want to free the memory used by a Message,
  // you must delete it.

  // (for groups) or input->ConsumedEntireMessage() (for non-groups) after
  // this returns to verify that the message's end was delimited correctly.
