Adds support for a
deprecated_readonly
attribute.While
deprecated
removes the field entirely from generated code, both getters and setters,deprecated_readonly
only removes the setters and keeps the getters.It's useful for backwards compatibility in some cases. A program might read a buffer written before the deprecation, read the deprecated field if it has a value, do some applicable conversion, and write to a non-deprecated field.
Fixes #7940
Some things to look out for
deprecated_readonly
attribute to thecolor
field in themonster.fbs
sample. Let me know if I should revert this.deprecated_readonly
to the middle ofreflection.fbs
next todeprecated
. I'm not sure if this file needs to keep backwards conformity. If it does, let me know, and I'll move it to the end.deprecated_readonly
attribute. There was no easy way to do this and the solution I came up with I find a bit invasive. I put it in a separate commit for easy removal, if it comes to that.
