I'll review the C# side, I'd like @gerben-s to check the correctness of the wrapper parsing optimizations.

What about the other wrappers? fixed32, int32 etc...

Overall I think that the code contains redundancies and could be factored better in time. But it's an excellent change to improve speed.

int shift = 0;
ulong result = 0;
while (shift < 64)
if (bufferPos + 10 <= bufferSize)

I think ReadRawVarint32 needs a similar change

ReadRawVarint32 already appears optimized I think?

nit: not that important because we don't really have users on big endian I think, but can we avoid the allocation?
Unfortunately stackalloc is not available because as currently the LangVersion is set to 6.

Agreed stackallow would be much better here.

Not that I'm suggesting changing this now, but why are you still on C# 6?

(complicated story, but basically we had an internal user that could only use C# 6 due to using Unity. I believe that's no longer a problem).

If this dependency is no longer true, then can we start using stackalloc and Span and such niceties?
