Reading to the end of a protobuf.Buffer

[Tonny Staunsbrink]

Is there a graceful way to detect having reached the end of a protobuf.Buffer (Golang)? 

I always end up with unexpected EOF

I'm not familiar with the Go implementation so I may be misunderstanding your question, but it sounds to me like you are trying to parse a protocol buffer without knowing its size. Protocol buffers are not self-delimiting, so it's not possible to parse them without knowing the number of bytes to expect, and that may be the problem you're running into. The usual solution to this is to prefix each serialized proto with its size in bytes.

+1 to Adam's assessment. That sounds like what you're running into, Tonny.
