The bookkeeping is not that hard... the pointer is null until it is first allocated, then it remains non-null, while a separate boolean indicates whether the sub-message is actually present in the parent. The big problem is bloat in memory usage if you parse many differently-shaped messages, requiring the app to implement hacks like only reusing a particular object a certain number of times. |
