Thanks for the quick response...
So, to do an RPC implementation over a stream channel (e.g. TCP),
where the message length is being sent in advance of the message body,
the fastest way would still be
(1) allocate bytes[length]
(2) stream.read(bytes, length)
(3) message.ParseFromArray(bytes, length)
Yes.
... assuming that memory allocation for a large message is not a
problem.
Careful about that assumption. What happens if a malicious user sends you a
length of 2^31-1? You should probably either put a cap on the length or
allocate many small blocks as you read the message.
