redefine size encoding to be able to carry negative values (to handle negative offsets), i.e. -128 means take larger integer size (same pattern for 32-bit integer). This also bings symmetric integer range (-value ... value).

opt) connection validation message sends max paylaod size
readSize checks if size is in limits of size_t?



1. protected void destroy(boolean createRequestFailed) {
2. reuse on reconnect !!!
3. initResponse failed: should I give non-null instance or thisPtr?
4. channelArray need to lock offset, conut, ..



        // should be called without any lock hold
        // TODO in Java as in C++ ? reportChannelStateChange();


                     else
                     // TODO not only first
                     // TODO minor version
                     // TODO what to do if there is no channel, do not search in a loop!!! do this in other thread...!
                     searchResponse(CAConstants.CA_MINOR_PROTOCOL_REVISION, addresses[0]);


void transportUnresponsive() { not implemented (also in Java)
