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