For *string* and *bytes*, the length value has already been parsed, and is available at *stream->bytes_left*. The callback will be called multiple times for repeated fields. For packed fields, you can either read multiple values until the stream ends, or leave it to `pb_decode`_ to call your function over and over until all values have been read. |
