Detailed Description

Process-local registry for BFBS blobs compiled into the current library.

Protobuf already provides google::protobuf::DescriptorPool::generated_pool() as the global registry of generated descriptors. FlatBuffers has no equivalent runtime pool for BFBS reflection data, so VLink keeps a small process-local registry that stores BFBS blobs embedded into the current binary/library.

The registry is intentionally limited to:

• registering compiled-in BFBS blobs
• looking up one schema by fully-qualified root type
• enumerating all registered BFBS schemas

It does not read schema files from disk and does not depend on VLINK_PROTO_DIR / VLINK_FBS_DIR.
