Decode a CompactSize-encoded variable-length integer.
Declared in <serialize.h>
template<typename Stream>
uint64_t
ReadCompactSize(
Stream& is,
bool range_check = true);As these are primarily used to encode the size of vector-like serializations, by default a range check is performed. When used as a generic number encoding, range_check should be set to false.
The decoded integer value.
