Yes, use std::string. The only potential problem is if your messages are
very large -- allocating large contiguous blocks of memory (as std::string
does) could lead to memory fragmentation. But for small and medium-sized
messages, there's no reason not to use std::string as the buffer. Parsing

To use protocol buffers with an asynchronous library, you need to
collect the data for the message is some data structure unti
