Joe Tsai f98dd98c15 internal/filedesc: defer evaluation of weak reference until actual use
Suppose some init logic performs protobuf reflection.
If so, it will cause the lazy descriptor init logic to be executed.
This is problematic for weak fields since we can not be certain that
all weak references have been registered at this point in time.
This is a fundamental issue with with weak dependencies,
since it means that we cannot enforce any ordering constraints
on the weak dependency unless we directly import the weakly referenced package
(which would defeat the point of weak imports).

Alleviate the problem by pushing evaluation of weak reference to
actual usage. This does not completely fix the problem,
but signifcantly reduces the probability of it being problematic.
In general, people should avoid interacting with weak fields at init time.

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.
