I think I’ve made a comprehensive list of all things that are not well formed by going through the latest draft and my decoder. There are about a dozen of them. I’ve also created 110 test vectors that cover them pretty thoroughly. 

Everything is here <https://github.com/laurencelundblade/QCBOR/blob/not_well_formed/test/not_well_formed_cbor.h> in a C header. The dozen types of non-well-formedness are listed as comments in the header file. The test vectors are in an array that can be used for testing. It is BSD-3 license.

I’ve turned up one bug in the RFC’s pseudo code. It doesn’t catch an indefinite length string as a segment in another indefinite length string. 

I’d like to get some review, some folks to try it out and such to see if I’ve missed anything and all is right. When that is done I’ll make a pull request for the draft out it. Probably in about two weeks.

So please look it over and try it against your implementation.
