Function decode_unchecked

pub fn decode_unchecked(slice: &mut &[u8]) -> u64

Gets the compact size encoded value from slice and moves slice past the encoding.

Caller to guarantee that the encoding is well formed. Well formed is defined as:

• Being at least long enough.
• Containing a minimal encoding.

Panics

• Panics in release mode if the slice does not contain a valid minimal compact size encoding.
• Panics in debug mode if the encoding is not minimal (referred to as “non-canonical” in Core).
