We used to use a separate "add table" during the
upb_symtab_addfile()
operation to make it easier to back out the file if it contained
errors. But this created unnecessary work of re-adding the same symbols
to the main symtab once everything was validated.
Instead we directly add symbols to the main symbols table. If there is
an error in validation, we remove precisely the set of symbols that
were already added.
This also requires using a separate arena for each file. We can fuse
it with the symtab's main arena if the operation is successful.
This gives a nice boost to the Ads descriptor loading benchmark:
Unfortunately switching to longjmp() for error handling seems to grow
the code a bit:
