+"""Code for decoding protocol buffer primitives.
+
+This code is very similar to encoder.py -- read the docs for that module first.
+
+A "decoder" is a function with the signature:
+  Decode(buffer, pos, end, message, field_dict)
+The arguments are:
+  buffer:     The string containing the encoded message.
+  pos:        The current position in the string.
+  end:        The position in the string where the current message ends.  May be
+              less than len(buffer) if we're reading a sub-message.
+  message:    The message object into which we're parsing.
+  field_dict: message._fields (avoids a hashtable lookup).
+The decoder reads the field and stores it into field_dict, returning the new
+buffer position.  A decoder for a repeated field may proactively decode all of
+the elements of that field, if they appear consecutively.
+
+Note that decoders may throw any of the following:
+  IndexError:  Indicates a truncated message.
+  struct.error:  Unpacking of a fixed-width field failed.
+  message.DecodeError:  Other errors.
+
+Decoders are expected to raise an exception if they are called with pos > end.
+This allows callers to be lax about bounds checking:  it's fineto read past
+"end" as long as you are sure that someone else will notice and throw an
+exception later on.
+
+Something up the call stack is expected to catch IndexError and struct.error
+and convert them to message.DecodeError.
+
+Decoders are constructed using decoder constructors with the signature:
+  MakeDecoder(field_number, is_repeated, is_packed, key, new_default)
+The arguments are:
+  field_number:  The field number of the field we want to decode.
+  is_repeated:   Is the field a repeated field? (bool)
+  is_packed:     Is the field a packed field? (bool)
+  key:           The key to use when looking up the field within field_dict.
+                 (This is actually the FieldDescriptor but nothing in this
+                 file should depend on that.)
+  new_default:   A function which takes a message object as a parameter and
+                 returns a new instance of the default value for this field.
+                 (This is called for repeated fields and sub-messages, when an
+                 instance does not already exist.)
+
+As with encoders, we define a decoder constructor for every type of field.
+Then, for every field of every message class we construct an actual decoder.
+That decoder goes into a dict indexed by tag, so when we decode a message
+we repeatedly read a tag, look up the corresponding decoder, and invoke it.
