Variable length fields

Open FreakyPenguin opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

As far as I can tell, the behavioral model seems to miss support for variable length fields. From a quick look at the source code it looks like adding this would mean moving some stuff around. Is anyone working on adding this, or is this a lower priority thing?

In general it would be useful to outline what's missing somewhere, e.g. in the README.

Thanks

You are right, there is no current support for variable length headers in the behavioral model and I don't have time to add support in the near future. Of course anyone is welcome to contribute a patch, but I think supporting this feature would require some big changes. Will try to update the README with current limitations of the model soon.
