Sorry if this has been covered before. I searched but couldn't find a complete answer (or at least what I thought was complete).
When I write a varint to a coded output stream via coded_stream.WriteVarInt32([some value]) is it possible to just do a quick calculation to find the number of bytes that would be written to the stream in that scenario just based on the value of the integer passed in? Is there any additional overhead to indicate that it is a varint when encoded to the stream or is the varint size just the same calculation as dictated in the language docs (here https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding?hl=zh-CN#varints). Obviously one easy way to find the size out be to create a coded output stream, write the varint to it and then find the byte size difference. I'm just wondering if there is a better/faster way than having to construct and delete a coded output stream for a calculation.
