-.. sidebar:: Field decoders
+.. sidebar:: Decoding fields manually
- The functions with names beginning with *pb_dec_* are called field decoders. Each PB_LTYPE has an own field decoder, which handles translating from Protocol Buffers data to C data.
+ The functions with names beginning with *pb_decode_* are used when dealing with callback fields. The typical reason for using callbacks is to have an array of unlimited size. In that case, `pb_decode`_ will call your callback function repeatedly, which can then store the values into e.g. filesystem in the order received in.
- Each field decoder reads and decodes a single value. For arrays, the decoder is called repeatedly.
+ For decoding numeric (including enumerated and boolean) values, use `pb_decode_varint`_, `pb_decode_svarint`_, `pb_decode_fixed32`_ and `pb_decode_fixed64`_. They take a pointer to a 32- or 64-bit C variable, which you may then cast to smaller datatype for storage.
- You can use the decoders from your callbacks. Just be aware that the pb_field_t passed to the callback is not directly compatible
- with the *varint* field decoders. Instead, you must create a new pb_field_t structure and set the data_size according to the data type
- you pass to *dest*, e.g. *field.data_size = sizeof(int);*. Other fields in the *pb_field_t* don't matter.
+ For decoding strings and bytes fields, the length has already been decoded. You can therefore check the total length in *stream->state* and read the data using `pb_read`_.
- The field decoder interface is a bit messy as a result of the interface required inside the nanopb library.
- Eventually they may be replaced by separate wrapper functions with a more friendly interface.
+ Finally, for decoding submessages in a callback, simply use `pb_decode`_ and pass it the *SubMessage_fields* descriptor array.
