Re: [protobuf] Parse sub message from binary encoding

['Adam Cozzette' via Protocol Buffers]

I'm not sure which is cheaper, and it might depend on the situation. But
unless you're trying to do something unusual, it's probably best to just
parse the parent message normally and access the submessage from there.

[R P]

Appreciate your answer!

I've no deep insights into protobuf. What happens if i parse a binary as 
EmptyMessage? Is it less costly than parsing as a concrete message (e.g. 
Test3 from the example)?

Why not just parse the entire parent message? But if you really want to
avoid that for some reason, probably the easiest approach is to parse the
binary as an EmptyMessage, then look through the unknown fields for your
submessage field and parse the submessage from there.
