Decode the specified `object` of parameterized `TYPE` from the memory at the specified `buffer` address, having the specified `length`. The (optionally) specified `uri` is used for identifying the input document in error messages. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. A compilation error will result unless `TYPE` conforms to the requirements of a bdlat sequence or choice, as described in `bdlat_sequencefunctions` and `bdlat_choicefunctions`.
