/*!
* \brief Creates the decoder block for use in GNU Radio
* flowgraphs from a given FEC API object derived from the
* generic_decoder class.
* \ingroup error_coding_blk
*
* \details
*
* Decodes frames received as async messages over a message
* port. This decoder deployment expects messages of soft decision
* symbols in and can produce either packed, PDU messages (\p
* packed = True) or messages full of unpacked bits (\p packed =
* False).
*
* This decoder works off a full message as one frame or block to
* decode. The message length is used to calculate the frame
* length. To support this, the decoder variable used will have
* had its frame_size set. This block treats that initial
* frame_size value as the maximum transmission unit (MTU) and
* will not process frames larger than that after being decoded.
*
* The packed PDU form of this deployment is designed to work well
* with other PDU-based blocks to operate within the processing
* flow of data packets or frames.
*
* Due to differences in how data is packed and processed, this
* block also offers the ability to change the direction of how
* bits are packed. All inputs messages are one soft decision per
* item. By default, the \p rev_pack mode is set to True. Using
* this setup allows the async block to behave with PDUs in the
* same operation and format as the tagged stream decoders. That
* is, putting the same data into both the tagged stream decoder
* deployment and this with the default setting should produce the
* same data.
*
* Because the block handles data as a full frame per message,
* this decoder deployment cannot work with any decoders that
* require history. For example, the gr::fec::code::cc_decoder
* decoder in streaming mode requires an extra rate*(K-1) bits to
* complete the decoding, so it would have to wait for the next
* message to come in and finish processing. Therefore, the
* streaming mode of the CC decoder is not allowed. The other
* three modes will work with this deployment since the frame is
* self-contained for decoding.
