+// of pairs of relatively small positive integer values.  Encoding these as
+// LEB128 saves space.

nit - just return the pointer rather than having an out arg.

More awkward for the current client code.

+  // Growable vector holding the encoded LEB128 stream.

+};
+
+// Decode a LEB128 byte stream to produce packed words.

+  Leb128Decoder(const std::vector<uint8_t>& encoding)
+      : encoding_(encoding), cursor_(0) { }
+
+  // Retrieve the next value from the encoded stream.
+  uint32_t Dequeue();
+
+  // Retrieve all remaining values from the encoded stream.
+  // |values| is the vector of decoded data.
+  void Dequeue(std::vector<uint32_t>* values);

DequeueAll (and maybe EnqueueAll above) to make it clear this retrieve's all
remaining values

Done.

+  std::vector<uint8_t> encoding_;
+
+  // Cursor indicating the current stream retrieval point.
+  size_t cursor_;
