Unfortunately a few of the Clang warnings did not have easy fixes:
../../../../ext/google/protobuf_c/ruby-upb.c: In function ‘fastdecode_err’:
../../../../ext/google/protobuf_c/ruby-upb.c:353:13: warning: function might be candidate for attribute ‘noreturn’ [-Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn]
353 | const char *fastdecode_err(upb_decstate *d) {

../../../../ext/google/protobuf_c/ruby-upb.c: In function ‘_upb_decode’:
../../../../ext/google/protobuf_c/ruby-upb.c:867:30: warning: argument ‘buf’ might be clobbered by ‘longjmp’ or ‘vfork’ [-Wclobbered]
867 | bool _upb_decode(const char *buf, size_t size, void *msg,
I even tried to suppress the first error, but it still shows up.
There was a bug in our arena code where we assumed that
sizeof(upb_array) would be a multiple of 8. On i386 it was
not, and this was causing memory corruption on 32-bit builds.
* Added -Wextra and -Wshorten-64-to-32 and fixed resulting errors.
* Disable -Wshorten-32-to-64 since Kokoro is missing Clang.
* Fixed -Wextra warnings for gcc.
* Reordered UPB_UNUSED() to come after declarations.
* Added another -pedantic fix and log CC version.
* Fix compile error and conditionally run use_bazel.sh.
* Moved set -e after use_bazel.sh.
* Fixed typo in conditional.
* WIP.
* WIP.
* Tests are passing.
* Recover some perf: LIKELY doesn't propagate through functions. :(
* Added some more benchmarks.
* Simplify & optimize upb_arena_realloc().
* Only add owned blocks to the freelist.
* More optimization/simplification.
* Re-fixed the bug.

This makes both the C (.h) and C++ (.hpp) files read nicer
and keeps the core of upb C-only.
Existing users of the C++ wrappers will have to add manual
#includes of the .hpp files.
New code is smaller (in both source size and compiled size) and faster.
# Speed
The decoder speeds up on all machines I tested, though the amount of speedup varies. I was only able to test Intel CPUs.

# Size
A few source files grow marginally because of some arena functionality moved inline. But `upb/decode.c` shrinks by 30% on Linux:

* Removed reflection and other extraneous things from the core library.
* Added missing files and ran buildifier.
* New CMakeLists.txt.
* Made table its own cc_library() for internal usage.
* Split upb::Arena/upb::Allocator from upb::Environment.
This will allow arenas and allocators to be used
independently of environments, which will be important
for an upcoming change (a message representation).
Overall this design feels cleaner that the previous
Environment/SeededAllocator design.
As part of this change, moved all allocations in upb
to use a global allocator instead of hard-coding
malloc/free. This will allow injecting OOM faults
for more robust testing.
One place that doesn't use the global allocator is
the tracked ref code. Instead of its previous approach
of CHECK_OOM() after every malloc() or table insert, it
simply uses an allocator that does this automatically.
I moved Allocator/Arena/Environment into upb.h.
This seems principled since these are the only types
in upb whose size is directly exposed to users, since
they form the basis of memory allocation strategy.
* Cleaned up some header includes and fixed more malloc -> upb_gmalloc().
* Changes from PR review.
* Don't use UINTPTR_MAX or UINT64_MAX.
* Punt on adding line/file for now.
* We actually can't store (uint64_t)-1, update comment and test.
It is entirely optional: MessageDef/EnumDef can still exist
on their own. But this can represent a def's file when it is
desirable to do so (eg. for code generators).
This approach will require that we change the way we handle
extensions. But I think it will be a good change overall.
Specifically, we previously handled extensions by duplicating
the extended message and then adding the extension as a regular
field to the duplicated message. This required also duplicating
any messages that could reach the extended message.
In the new world we will need a way of declaring and looking up
extensions separately from the message being extended.
This change also involves some notable changes to the generated
code:
- files are now called foo.upbdefs.h instead of foo.upb.h.
This reflects the fact that we might possibly generate several
different output files for a .proto file, and this one is just
for defs.
- we no longer generate selectors in the .h file.
- the upbdefs.c no longer vends a SymbolTable. Now it vends the
individual messages (and possibly a FileDef later). I think this
will compose better once we can generate files where one
generated files imports another.
We also make the descriptor reader vend a list of FileDefs now.
This is the best conceptual match for parsing a FileDescriptorSet.

the generated code looks like:
template <> class Pointer<upb::Def> : public PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted> {
public: explicit Pointer(upb::Def* ptr) : PointerBase(ptr) {}

which falls into https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8887864/template-base-constructor-call-in-member-initialization-list-error)
changing the generated code to:
template <> class Pointer<upb::Def> : public PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted> {
public: explicit Pointer(upb::Def* ptr) : PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted>(ptr) {}

makes it compile at least on 4.4.7 that we are testing with:
