/** used in the RAW_decode functions generation to store information
 * about the temporal variables
 * type is the type of the variable
 * typedescr is the type's descriptor
 * start_pos is where the decoding should begin
 *   it is >= 0 if known at compile time, otherwise -1
 * use_counter stores how many times this type will be used
 *   if it is >1 than we create the variable "globally" so that that
 *     we don't need to create it again in the next component's decode try
 *   if it is ==1 than it is a local variable only referred at one place
 *     we create it only where it is needed, so if at runtime the decoding
 *     comes to a conclusion before the use of this variable, then its
 *     overhead won't slow down the decoding
 * decoded_for_element is the index of the element in the union for which
 *     this variable was last used for
 *   if it is -1 if the variable hasn't been decoded yet
 *     only in this case it is needed to generate the code to do the decoding
 *   if it is >=0 than we use it generate the conditions
 *     if it doesn't equal to the actual component's index, then we have to
 *       generate the condition and the decoding... parts to it.
 *     if it equals the actual component's index, then we only add its test
 *       to the actual condition
