@kloepper pointed out a while back that every compiler you've ever heard of supports this. Plus, it's more concise, it's not prone to copy-paste errors, and it looks nicer.

At the time I wanted to remain consistent and I didn't feel like spending the time to update all my existing code. But, every time I've added a new header since I've cursed the include guard, so I finally broke down and changed it.

Since this header is included by everyone, and units.h has lots of templates, this seems like it could significantly improve build times.

Don't allow kj::maxValue / kj::minValue for Guarded types, since they'll break down when CAPNP_DEBUG_TYPES is off.

Mentioned three days ago, didn't want it to get forgotten

The project file still only compiles a test binary, but it should be easy to separate out a library project from here.

Thanks again to Bryan Boreham <bjboreham@gmail.com> for much help getting this working.

This prevents the compiler from reporting warnings in these headers while compiling application code. Hopefully this will stem the never-ending stream of complaints from people who enable pedantic warnings.

The license change is practically meaningless, as MIT and BSD 2-clause are legally equivalent. However, the BSD 2-clause license is sometimes confused for its ugly siblings, BSD 3-clause and BSD 4-clause. The MIT license is more immediately recognizeable for what it is.

Rémy Blank and Jason Choy (the two non-trivial contributors) are on record as approving this change:

- Define separate times for durations vs. absolute times.
- Make more consistent with existing precedents in KJ style.

Mass rename 'reference' -> 'pointer'.  Been meaning to do this for a while -- all the documentation talks about 'pointers', not 'references'.

Dynamic API mostly done...  not tested.  This commit actually starts embedding the schema data in the generated code.

Restore ability to upgrade from List(Bool) to List(T) where T is a struct whose @0 field is of type Bool.  I previously disallowed this to reduce complexity, but it turned out to actually increase complexity.

Starting on dynamic message manipulation (manipluating messages without knowing the schema, or without compiling in the schema).

Implement code generator plugins.  The Cap'n Proto compiler, when given -o foo, invokes the binary capnp-foo and passes the schema, in Cap'n Proto format, to its stdin.  The binary is executed with the current working directory set to the desired output directory, so all it has to do is write the files.
