Termination key for Pack in Swift 4

[nagarajaghantasala]

IOS app is packing the data to send to Linux Device by this framework.

Linux Device is unpacking by mpack library.

When I used Message pack v1.2.0 for Swift 2, pack in IOS App and unpack in Linux Device are working.

After I upgrade the Message Pack v3.0 for Swift 4, Pack is not working fine.

1. Termination key is not generated in Pack for Swift 4 and whereas that key is generating for Swift 2.
2. One extra byte is adding to before string value after packing the data in Swift 2. This is not happening in Swift 4.
3. Which means if we compared Swift 2 and Swift 4 Hexa values, one Byte difference is appearing in Pack. Because of this unpacking is not happening in Device side.

Example Data :-

I used same String in Array data for Message pack v1.2.0 and v3.0

Message pack v1.2.0

32 Bytes :-
String : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdef

Please provide the solution for this issue.

Thanks in Advance.

Can you provide code samples that produce the output you are seeing with MessagePack.swift v3.0?

For example, if I run the following code on master I receive this output:

let string = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdef"
print((pack(.string(string)) as NSData).description)
