Prior to this commit the default C++ code generator was `c++0x`.
A code generated with `c++0x` code-gen might have a vulnerability (undefined behavior) connected evolution of enums in a schema. This UB could break the backward compatibility if previously generated code casts an unknown enumerator to enum type that knows nothing about future enumerators added to the schema.
The main differences between `c++0x` and `c++11`:
- generated enums use explicitly declared underlying type;
- generated object-API tables don't declare default ctor() explicitly, instead of it default data member initializers are generated.
Please use `flatc --cpp-std c++0x` option for backward compatibility with old compilers.
For example:
include/flatbuffers/reflection.h:365:8: error: definition of implicit copy
constructor for 'pointer_inside_vector<flatbuffers::Table, unsigned char>'
is deprecated because it has a user-declared copy assignment operator
[-Werror,-Wdeprecated-copy]
void operator=(const pointer_inside_vector &piv);
^
It's unclear why the old code wanted to declare a public `operator=`
without defining it; that just seems like a misunderstanding of the C++03 idiom
for deleting a member function. And anyway, we don't *want* to delete the
assignment operator; these are polymorphic types that do not follow value
semantics and nobody should ever be trying to copy them. So the simplest fix
is just to go back to the Rule of Zero: remove the declaration of `operator=`
and let the compiler do what it wanted to do originally anyway.

Also, update the generated .h files.
Fixes#5649.
Previously UnPack would allocate data with new and assign it to a
raw pointer. This behavior makes it possible for the pointer to be
leaked in case of OOM. This commit defaults to use the user specified
pointer (which needs to implement a move constructor, a .get() and a
.release() operators), thus preventing these leaks.
* Add Builder and Table typedefs
This gives us a way to use templates to go from a builder to a table
and back again without having to pass both types in.
* Fix tests/cpp17/generated_cpp17/monster_test_generated.h
* Extend the test of MonsterExtra
- Extend C++ test of MonsterExtra
- Add conversion of fbs/json NaNs to unsigned quiet-NaN
- Update documentation (cross-platform interoperability)
* Fix declaration of infinity constants int the test
* Added a cpp UnPackSizePrefixed<struct_name> generated helper function
Missing helper function added to the cpp API generator for unpacking size prefixed structures
* Added generated test files
* Add `NaN` and `Inf` defaults to the C++ generated code.
* Refactoring: add FloatConstantGenerator
* Refactoring-2:
- remove isnan checking for all float/double values
- add most probable implementation of virtual methods of FloatConstantGenerator
* Add conditional (FLATBUFFERS_NAN_DEFAULTS) isnan checking
