No. But note that integers are 'varint' encoded, so if you only give a small value, it will only eat up a small amount of bits. So a number in the range of 0..127 will actually be encoded as only one byte etc. Note that for instance int32 and int64 are actually encoded the same on the wire for the same reason. This allows as well to do a backward compatible change from int32 to int64 for a protocol field. Details on the encoding: http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/encoding.html#varints -h -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
