NAME

librock_CRC32 - CRC-32 (CCITT standard algorithm) on memory block(s)

#License - #Source code - #Example Use -

SYNOPSIS

#include <librock/procede.h>

librock_uint32_t
librock_CRC32(
        librock_uint32_t crc, /* Before first call set = ~0 */
        const void *Buffer,
        unsigned int cbBuffer
);

DESCRIPTION

Routine calculates the CRC for a block of data using table lookup method. It accepts an original value for the crc, and returns the updated value. The caller must precondition the crc to all 1's before the first call, and invert the result after all blocks are complete.

Typical use is

#ifdef librock_TYPICAL_USE_CRC32
   #include <librock/target/types.c>

   librock_uint32_t crccomp = 0xffffffffL;

   char *buf = "this is a test";
   crccomp = librock_CRC32(crccomp,buf,strlen(buf));
   printf("%08lx\n", (crccomp ^ 0xFFFFFFFFL));
#endif

USES

    // librock_PRIVATE BuildCRCTable()
    // librock_PRIVATE unsigned long CRCTable[256]
    // librock_PRIVATE char CRCTableBuilt

Rapid reuse, without rework.

Source code which is Open-source, Free (Libre) and free (no cost)
Namespace limited. All compile-time macros and names visible at link time are prefixed by "librock_". Integrate into your project and expect no name collisions.
Stable API means new functions get new names so that there is no risk that updating a source file will break existing applications.
Highly portable, cross-platform, and multithread compatible. Works with many machines, compilers, and operating systems (gcc/MSVC/Windows/Linux/BSD).
