IDecodeExtension

All Known Implementing Classes:

FCCDecoderExtension
```
public interface IDecodeExtension
```
Extension part of IModule. This part will be during the decode process of the model.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`decode(Pointer<org.palladiosimulator.solver.models.PCMInstance> pcm)`	Start the decoding process.
`List<Choice>`	`getChoices()`	Get new choices which might be produced during decoding.
`void`	`grabChoices(List<Choice> notTransformedChoices)`	Grab choices which belong to this module (delete them from the list, and save it in the module).
`void`	`nextDecodeStart()`	Indicates the start of a new decoding.
`void`	`postProcessing(List<Choice> notTransformedChoices, org.palladiosimulator.solver.models.PCMInstance pcm)`	At the end of the decoding this method will be invoked by PerOpteryx.

- Method Detail
  - nextDecodeStart
```
void nextDecodeStart()
```
    Indicates the start of a new decoding.
  - grabChoices
```
void grabChoices(List<Choice> notTransformedChoices)
```
    Grab choices which belong to this module (delete them from the list, and save it in the module). (Especially iff the choices cannot interpreted by the 'plain' PerOpteryx.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    notTransformedChoices - the list of not transformed choices
  - decode
```
void decode(Pointer<org.palladiosimulator.solver.models.PCMInstance> pcm)
```
    Start the decoding process.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pcm - a pointer to the PCMInstance. You are allowed to create a new one for further work.
  - getChoices
```
List<Choice> getChoices()
```
    Get new choices which might be produced during decoding.
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of new choices
  - postProcessing
```
void postProcessing(List<Choice> notTransformedChoices,
                    org.palladiosimulator.solver.models.PCMInstance pcm)
```
    At the end of the decoding this method will be invoked by PerOpteryx.
    
    Parameters:
    
    notTransformedChoices - the remaining choices
    
    pcm - the final PCMInstance
