Description
cryptobyte.String
has ReadUint8
, ReadUint16
, ReadUint24
, and ReadUint32
but no ReadUint64
.
Likewise, cryptobyte.Builder
has AddUint8
, AddUint16
, AddUint24
, and AddUint32
but no AddUint64
.
I ran into the omission when writing a parser for a Certificate Transparency Merkle Tree Leaf which uses 64 bit integers for timestamps.
I propose adding:
// ReadUint64 decodes a big-endian, 64-bit value into out and advances over it.
// It reports whether the read was successful.
func (s *String) ReadUint64(out *uint64) bool
// AddUint64 appends a big-endian, 64-bit value to the byte string.
func (b *Builder) AddUint64(v uint64)
(edited to add AddUint64
)
