jviotti opened a new pull request #2312: URL: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/2312
I'm having problems following the var int explanation from the Compact Protocol spec. Here is an attempt to clarify it with more precise encoding steps and with an example. I'm also mentioning, for completeness, that the formal name of such variable-length integer encoding is Unsigned LEB128 (Unsigned Little Endian Base-128).
