#) Fields in the generated structs are ordered by the tag number, instead of the natural ordering in .proto file.
#) Unknown fields are not preserved when decoding and re-encoding a message.

Getting started

The number of bytes in the message is stored in *stream.bytes_written*.
You can feed the message to *protoc --decode=Example example.proto* to verify its validity.
Debugging and testing
=====================
Extensive unittests are included under the *tests* folder. Just type *make* there to run the tests.
This also generates a file called *breakpoints* which includes all lines returning *false* in nanopb. You can use this in gdb by typing *source breakpoints*, after which gdb will break on first nanopb error.

========
#) A specialized encoder for encoding to a memory buffer. Should serialize in reverse order to avoid having to determine submessage size beforehand.
