Protobuf.net does not serialize zero

It looks like there is a problem with encoding for 0 as Int64. Other values ​​like Int64 ok.

[ProtoMember(3)] private readonly Int64 _intValue

      

        
        
        
      

    

deserialized as Int64.MinValue

Any idea?

I acknowledge the error. This class will not serialize correctly if _val == 0

[ProtoContract]

class VerySimple
{
    [ProtoMember(1)]
    private readonly Int64 _val = Int64.MinValue;

    public VerySimple(long val)
    {
        _val = val;
    }

    public long Val
    {
        get { return _val; }            
    }

    public VerySimple()
    {
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

this test fails

[Test]

    public void TestProtobufEncodingSimple()
    {
        //OK
        {
            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
            Serializer.Serialize(stream, new VerySimple(1));
            stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            VerySimple reloaded = Serializer.Deserialize<VerySimple>(stream);
            Assert.AreEqual(reloaded.Val, 1L);
        }

        //KO
        {
            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
            Serializer.Serialize(stream, new VerySimple(0));
            stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            VerySimple reloaded = Serializer.Deserialize<VerySimple>(stream);
            Assert.AreEqual(reloaded.Val, 0L);
        }
    }
