W8crc - A full-featured CRC library for Nim

Features:

  • Bitwise and lookup table crc algorithms
  • Support for all parameterized crc algos from CRC RevEng (except >32 for now)
  • Precomputations at compile time to speed up the calculation of parameterized crc algos
  • Calculating any user-defined crc
  • Calculating crc in parts (corresponding balance feature)
  • Calculating crc from file
  • Support for x32/x64 architectures
  • Pure nim

Todo:

  • BE test (not tested yet)
  • Docs
  • Shift4 and Shift8 intel algos implementation
  • Crc64 support
  • Better crcFromFile

Bitwise

Common use (the calculated CrcKind is known at compiletime):

import std/strutils
let
  str = "123456789"
  bytes = @[0x31'u8, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38, 0x39]
assert str.crcBitwise(crc32Posix) == crc32Posix.takeCrcSpec.check
assert bytes.crcBitwise(crc16MaximDow).toHex(4) == "44C2"

Completely runtime:

for k in Crc32Kind:
  # slower, larger executable file size -> not recommended use case
  # instead use constant CrcKinds wherever is possible
  discard "rt".crcBitwise(k.takeCrcSpec)

Lookup table

# first we initialize lookup
const ct = static: crc8.initLookup()
let rt = crc8.initLookup()

# then
assert "😎".crcLut(crc8, rt) == @[0xf0'u8, 0x9f, 0x98, 0x8e].crcLut(crc8, ct)

Using advanced crc params

# additional import required
import w8crc/params/[crcbookplus, crckindsplus]

assert "123456789".crcBitwise(crc12Umts.takeCrcSpec) == crc12Umts.takeCrcSpec.check

Custom crc params

To calculate custom crc we need to initialize CrcSpec. CrcSpec also needs check value, specify it as the last argument of initCrcSpec if you know, otherwise it will be calculated automatically.

var= initCrcSpec(
  name = "CRC-8/???",
  size = 8,
  poly = 0x9b'u32,
  init = 0x00'u32,
  refin = false,
  refout = false,
  xorout = 0x00'u32
)
assert "123456789".crcBitwise(❓) == crc8Lte.takeCrcSpec.check
assert " ".crcBitwise(❓) == " ".crcBitwise(crc8Lte.takeCrcSpec)

Calculation by parts (lut only)

The calculation of crc can easily be broken into parts. But not all parameterized crc can be used for this out of the box (init xor xorout > 0). Use a balance to fix this.

let
 bigdat = @[0x31'u8, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38, 0x39]
 (p0, p1) = (@[0x31'u8, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35], @[0x36'u8, 0x37, 0x38, 0x39])

assert crc32Pkzip.balanceNeeded == false # no need to use balance()
assert crc32Posix.balanceNeeded == true

let
  lookup = crc32Posix.initLookup()
  check = bigdat.crcLut(crc32Posix, lookup)

var r0 = p0.crcLut(crc32Posix, lookup, prev = 0)
var r1 = p1.crcLut(crc32Posix, lookup, prev = r0)

assert r1 != check

crc32Posix.balance(r0)
r1 = p1.crcLut(crc32Posix, lookup, prev = r0)

assert r1 == check

From file

let lookup = crc16CcitFalse.initLookup()
discard "example.bin".crcFromFile(crc16CcitFalse, lookup)

Switches

  1. -d:useBranchFree64 (uses int64 to calculate crc32❗). The branch free version of the remainder calculation doubles the bitwise calculation speed on modern cpu's (which is also used in the calculation of lookup tables). For x32 compatibility, the useBranchFree64 switch is disabled by default.
