I've asked for guidance on the flatbuffers mailing-list. However, I think that we may want to make the `max_tables` a factor of the buffer size. The only point of recursion is the `Field` table. A Field must have a non-empty type (and also, perhaps, a non-empty name). Even with at least 1 bit in the Flatbuffers buffer per Field, a 1536-byte Footer shouldn't contain more than 1536*8 tables. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
