format

A simple-protobuf file can be filled into a C struct directly, but no pointer is supported.

The sp file format is shown below.

[struct_len] + n*[[type][data_len][data]]

1. type is a length-variable LE number(less than 2^57^) indicating the aligned type length of each struct item.
2. *_len is a length-variable LE number(less than 2^57^) indicating the length of *.
3. data contains data_len bytes of the data.

usage

You can read test.c to find out the detailed usage.
