Weak fields are an obsolete proto1 feature. They have been superseded by extensions. However, some vestigial support for weak fields does remain, mostly as Google-internal patches. (They aren't exciting; extensions really do everything weak fields do in a cleaner and more portable fashion.) At the moment, the only visible impact of marking a field [weak=true] is to exclude it from "internal/fileinit".FileBuilder.DependencyIndexes. We want to preserve that behavior just in case we ever do add full weak field support here. Extend fileinit to look up message descriptors for weak fields in the global registry. If the descriptor cannot be found, use a placeholder instead. Remove special-case handling of weak fields in the impl package. The code generator doesn't do anything special for them, so they can be treated as any other field.

Next Generation Go Protocol Buffers
WARNING: This repository is in active development. There are no guarantees about API stability. Breaking changes will occur until a stable release is made and announced.
This repository is for the development of the next major Go implementation of protocol buffers. This library makes breaking API changes relative to the existing Go protobuf library. Of particular note, this API aims to make protobuf reflection a first-class feature of the API and implements the protobuf ecosystem in terms of reflection.
