Great idea Marvin! The decoding could be slightly faster with
reverse-byte order since you don't have to maintain a shift-count:
public int readVInt() throws IOException {
byte b = readByte();
int i = b & 0x7F;
while ((b & 0x80)!=0)
b = readByte();
i = (i<<7) | (b & 0x7F);
}
return i;
}
Of course there is that *little* detail of backward compatability ;-)
