zero-copy 'bytes' unpacking option? #71

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Have you considered avoiding copying 'bytes' fields by just pointing to the 
parsed buffer rather than copying it? I realize this would have to be an option 
or a new interface, since this would make it no longer safe to deallocate the 
parsed buffer until the unpacked message is released.

yes, this would be great to have.  i am planning on cramming more API into the 
Allocator, this might be a good one.
