Deserializing buffer Protocol Buffer

I'm trying to deserialize buffer from socket.
It is defined as C struct.



One member of struct is uint8[5].

I stuck how to express that with .proto file.



Original C struct of sender is at below.



typedef struct 
uint32_t body_length;
uint8_t body_version;
uint8_t reserved[5];



My struct.proto trial is at below.



syntax = "proto3";
message message_t
uint32 body_version = 1;
uint8 body_version = 2; //uint8_t body_version;
bytes reserved = 3; //uint8 reservered[5];



I don't know how to express uint8 and 5 byte sized array.
There's no uint8 and fixed size bytes at proto3 spec.

          protobuf indeed doesn't have fixed size arrays, and the fixed size integers don't include 5 bytes. So; your best option is probably bytes, and just make it always contain exactly 5 bytes.



          Note: protobuf is not intended as a mechanism for parsing arbitrary protocols / payloads such as socket frames or raw C-style dumps. It is only intended for use with protobuf itself.
