Mark Fernandez commented on BIT-1500:
-------------------------------------

OK, that would be great.  I apologize for closing the ticket prematurely, but I 
am honestly satisfied with the workaround and didn't want to burden BIT with a 
lingering OPEN ticket.  Shall we re-open it?

> BinPAC Call to FlowBuffer::NewFrame with frame_length -1

> I am creating a protocol analyzer using BinPAC. I created a type record for 
> chunked data, very similar to HTTP chunked data.  The auto-generated C++ code 
> does not parse the chunked data correctly.  I tracked it down to the 
> ParseBuffer code where there is a combination of calls to 
> FlowBuffer::NewFrame and soon thereafter a condition check against 
> FlowBuffer::ready().  The call to NewFrame passes '-1' as the frame_length 
> value. NewFrame calls FlowBuffer::MarkOrCopyFrame, and because the 
> frame_length is set to -1, MarkOrCopyFrame sets message_complete_ to false.  
> Therefore, when FlowBuffer::ready() is called, it returns message_complete_, 
> which is false, and then ParseBuffer exits via 'goto need_more_data' without 
> ever parsing the chunked data.  This is very frustrating.  Please review and 
> let me know what you think.
