Synopsis

Declared in <bdldfp_decimalconvertutil.h>

static
Decimal64
decimal64FromMultiWidthEncodingRaw(
    unsigned char const* buffer,
    bsls::Types::size_type size);

Description

The behavior is undefined unless buffer has at least size bytes, size is a valid encoding size in the multi‐width encoding format, and size <= 5. Note that this function does not support decoding values requiring a full IEEE network encoding, which is supported by the decimal64FromMultiWidthEncoding function.

Return Value

decoded Decimal64 value

Parameters
