When reading about the varint encoding I wondered if there was a specific guidance on how to handle a badly encoded/out-of-bounds varint. In particular, what if I get more than ten consecutive bytes with the high bit set?
1) Treat the whole message as bad, and drop it 2) Treat the field as bad, do I keep eating as long as there are high bits set, or stop after ten and try to decode a new tag? 3) Keep eating bytes until a high bit isn't set, and just throw away the bits that wont fit into the type I am trying to decode into. 4) Eat up to 10 bytes, decode the least significant 64 bits from the encoded field, and try to decode a new tag Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
