Hello, I've got the following issue: When using self-written streambuf that may block on underflow() (reimplements std::streambuf::underflow() ).
Implementation of my underflow() waits for the next chunk of raw bytes for some time. If the data arrives then streambuf continues operate. If no data arrives EOS returned. The sticky thing is that when all necessary bytes to represent the message are in buffer ParseFromIstream( my_costom_bufstream) tries to consume all input, and it may block or/and consume more bytes than needed. Is there a workaround to force protobuf not to read more than necessary from the istream? Size prefixing protocol is the way, but it leads to supplier side efficiency losses :(. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
