    [torque] Don't generate k(?:Start|End)Of\w+FieldsOffset constants · 7366f6e2
    Seth Brenith authored
    Torque currently generates constants like kStartOfWeakFieldsOffset and
    kEndOfStrongFieldsOffset, which can be used when writing custom
    BodyDescriptors. However, these offsets have some potentially confusing
    behaviors:
    
    * They don't take inheritance into account and describe only the fields
      defined by the current class itself, so there might be (for example)
      strong fields before kStartOfStrongFieldsOffset if they were defined
      by a superclass.
    * kStartOfWeakFieldsOffset points to the first field defined in Torque
      using the keyword `weak`, which indicates fields with *custom*
      weakness semantics (those that should be visited with
      IterateCustomWeakPointers), not those that may contain standard weak
      pointers (visited with IterateMaybeWeakPointers). (As a follow-up, I'd
      like to also rename `weak` to `@customWeak`.)
    
    Given that these constants have very low usage and somewhat bizarre
    semantics, I propose that we remove them. This change does so, and
    updates the existing usages to either define the required constants
    directly in C++ or not use them. I know that defining these constants in
    C++ is more brittle, but I think that brittle and clear is better than
    automatic and incomprehensible.
