Hi, >From http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/encoding.html <quote> when a message is serialized its known fields should be written sequentially by field number, as in the provided C++, Java, and Python serialization code </quote>
Like the encoded wire format, is the above guaranteed for the C++ Serialization API (assuming no unknown fields)? Background: I'm designing a file format based on protobuf. I plan to have the first field as a fixed size file type magic value and second field as a fixed size checksum value, followed by other fields. While opening such a file, I'd like to match the magic value and verify the checksum, before parsing the whole file.
