|  | <p>The implementation-defined type <var>impl_def</var> stands for the | ||
|  | quickest-to-manipulate built-in unsigned integral type that can | ||
|  | represent at least <var>Bits</var> bits.</p> | ||

 | ||
|  | <h2><a name="rationale">Rationale</a></h2> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>A common error detection technique, especially with electronic | ||
|  | communications, is an appended checksum.  The transmitter sends its data | ||
|  | bits, followed by the bits of the checksum.  The checksum is based on | ||
|  | operations done on the data bit stream.  The receiver applies the same | ||
|  | operations on the bits it gets, and then gets the checksum.  If the | ||
|  | computed checksum doesn't match the received checksum, then an error | ||
|  | ocurred in the transmission.  There is the slight chance that the error | ||
|  | is only in the checksum, and an actually-correct data stream is | ||
|  | rejected.  There is also the chance of an error occurring that does not | ||
|  | change the checksum, making that error invisible.  CRC is a common | ||
|  | checksum type, used for error detection for hardware interfaces and | ||
|  | encoding formats.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <h2><a name="background">Background</a></h2> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>CRCs work by computing the remainder of a modulo-2 polynominal | ||
|  | division.  The message is treated as the (binary) coefficents of a long | ||
|  | polynominal for the dividend, with the earlier bits of the message fed | ||
|  | first as the polynominal's highest coefficents.  A particular CRC | ||
|  | algorithm has another polynominal associated with it to be used as the | ||
|  | divisor.  The quotient is ignored.  The remainder of the division | ||
|  | considered the checksum.  However, the division uses modulo-2 rules (no | ||
|  | carries) for the coefficents.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>See <cite><a href="http://www.ross.net/crc/crcpaper.html">A | ||
|  | Painless Guide to CRC Error Detection Algorithms</a></cite> for complete | ||
|  | information.  A clearer guide is at the <a | ||
|  | href="http://www.netrino.com/Connecting/2000-01/">Easier Said Than | ||
|  | Done</a> web page.</p> | ||

|  | 
 | ||
|  | <dl> | ||
|  | 	<dt>Truncated polynominal | ||
|  | 	<dd>The divisor polynominal has a degree one bit larger than the | ||
|  | 		checksum (remainder) size.  That highest bit is always one, so | ||
|  | 		it is ignored when describing a particular CRC type.  Excluding | ||
|  | 		this bit makes the divisor fit in the same data type as the | ||
|  | 		checksum. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | 	<dt>Initial remainder | ||
|  | 	<dd>The interim CRC remainder changes as each bit is processed.  | ||
|  | 		Usually, the interim remainder starts at zero, but some CRCs use | ||
|  | 		a different initial value to avoid "blind spots."  A | ||
|  | 		blind spot is when a common sequence of message bits does not | ||
|  | 		change certain interim remainder values. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | 	<dt>Final XOR value | ||
|  | 	<dd>A CRC remainder can be combined with a defined value, <i>via</i> | ||
|  | 		a bitwise exclusive-or operation, before being returned to the | ||
|  | 		user.  The value is usually zero, meaning the interim remainder | ||
|  | 		is returned unchanged.  The other common value is an all-ones | ||
|  | 		value, meaning that the bitwise complement of the interim | ||
|  | 		remainder is returned. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | 	<dt>Reflected input | ||
|  | 	<dd>A message's bits are usually fed a byte at a time, with the | ||
|  | 		highest bits of the byte treated as the higher bits of the | ||
|  | 		dividend polynominal.  Some CRCs reflect the bits (about the | ||
|  | 		byte's center, so the first and last bits are switched, | ||
|  | 		<i>etc.</i>) before feeding. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | 	<dt>Reflected (remainder) output | ||
|  | 	<dd>Some CRCs return the reflection of the interim remainder (taking | ||
|  | 		place <em>before</em> the final XOR value stage). | ||

|  | <p>The <code>value_type</code> is the quickest-to-manipulate built-in | ||
|  | type that can hold at least the specified (by <code>Bits</code>) number | ||
|  | of bits.  This should be <code>boost::uint_t<Bits>::fast</code>.  | ||
|  | See the <a href="../integer/doc/html/boost_integer/integer.html">integer type selection | ||
|  | documentation</a> for details.  The <code>TruncPoly</code>, | ||
|  | <code>InitRem</code>, and <code>FinalXor</code> template parameters also | ||
|  | are of this type.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>This implementation is fast since it uses as many optimizations as | ||
|  | practical.  All of the CRC parameters are specified at compile-time as | ||
|  | template parameters.  No individual bits are considered; only whole | ||
|  | bytes are passed.  A table of interim CRC values versus byte values is | ||
|  | pre-computed when the first object using a particular bit size, | ||
|  | truncated polynominal, and input reflection state is processed.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <h2><a name="usage">Computer Usage</a></h2> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>The two class templates have different policies on where the CRC's | ||
|  | parameters go.  Both class templates use the number of bits in the CRC | ||
|  | as the first template parameter.  The theoretical computer class | ||
|  | template has the bit count as its only template parameter, all the other | ||
|  | CRC parameters are entered through the constructor.  The optimized | ||
|  | computer class template obtains all its CRC parameters as template | ||
|  | parameters, and instantiated objects are usually | ||
|  | default-constructed.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>The CRC parameters can be inspected at run-time with the following | ||
|  | member functions: <code>get_truncated_polynominal</code>, | ||
|  | <code>get_initial_remainder</code>, <code>get_final_xor_value</code>, | ||
|  | <code>get_reflect_input</code>, and <code>get_reflect_remainder</code>.  | ||
|  | The fast computer also provides compile-time constants for its CRC | ||
|  | parameters.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>The <code>get_interim_remainder</code> member function returns the | ||
|  | internal state of the CRC remainder.  It represents the unreflected | ||
|  | remainder of the last division.  Saving an interim remainder allows the | ||
|  | freezing of CRC processing, as long as the other CRC parameters and the | ||
|  | current position of the bit stream are saved.  Restarting a frozen | ||
|  | stream involves constructing a new computer with the most of the old | ||
|  | computer's parameters.  The only change is to use the frozen remainder | ||
|  | as the new computer's initial remainder.  Then the interrupted bit | ||
|  | stream can be fed as if nothing happened.  The fast CRC computer has a | ||
|  | special constructor that takes one argument, an interim remainder, for | ||
|  | this purpose (overriding the initial remainder CRC parameter).</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>The <code>reset</code> member functions reset the internal state of | ||
|  | the CRC remainder to the given value.  If no value is given, then the | ||
|  | internal remainder is set to the initial remainder value when the object | ||
|  | was created.  The remainder must be unreflected.  When a CRC calculation | ||
|  | is finished, calling <code>reset</code> lets the object be reused for a | ||
|  | new session.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>After any construction, both CRC computers work the same way.  | ||
|  | Feeding new data to a computer is in a seperate operation(s) from | ||
|  | extracting the current CRC value from the computer.  The following table | ||
|  | lists the feeding and extracting operations.</p> | ||

|  | <p>The <code>boost::crc</code> function template computes the CRC of a | ||

|  | parameters are passed through template arguments, identical to the | ||

|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>All the other CRC-computing function or class templates work assuming | ||
|  | that the division steps start immediately on the first message bits.  | ||
|  | The two <code>boost::augmented_crc</code> function templates have a | ||
|  | different division order.  Instead of combining (<i>via</i> bitwise | ||
|  | exclusive-or) the current message bit with the highest bit of a separate | ||
|  | remainder, these templates shift a new message bit into the low bit of a | ||
|  | remainder register as the highest bit is shifted out.  The new method | ||
|  | means that the bits in the inital remainder value are processed before | ||
|  | any of the actual message bits are processed.  To compensate, the real | ||
|  | CRC can only be extracted after feeding enough zero bits (the same count | ||
|  | as the register size) after the message bits.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>The template parameters of both versions of the function template are | ||
|  | the CRC's bit size (<code>Bits</code>) and the truncated polynominal | ||
|  | (<code>TruncPoly</code>).  The version of the function template that | ||
|  | takes two arguments calls the three-argument version with the | ||
|  | <var>initial_remainder</var> parameter filled as zero.  Both versions | ||
|  | work on the data block starting at the address <var>buffer</var> for | ||
|  | <var>byte_count</var> bytes.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>These function templates are useful if the bytes of the CRC directly | ||
|  | follow the message's bytes.  First, set the bytes of where the CRC will | ||
|  | go to zero.  Then use <code>augmented_crc</code> over the augmented | ||
|  | message, <i>i.e.</i> the message bytes and the appended CRC bytes.  Then | ||
|  | assign the result to the CRC.  To later check a received message, either | ||
|  | use <code>augmented_crc</code> (with the same parameters as | ||
|  | transmission, of course) on the received <em>unaugmented</em> message | ||
|  | and check if the result equals the CRC, or use | ||
|  | <code>augmented_crc</code> on the received <em>augmented</em> message | ||
|  | and check if the result equals zero.  Note that the CRC has to be stored | ||
|  | with the more-significant bytes first (big-endian).</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>Interruptions in the CRC data can be handled by feeding the result of | ||
|  | <code>augmented_crc</code> of the previous data block as the | ||
|  | <var>initial_remainder</var> when calling <code>augmented_crc</code> on | ||
|  | the next data block.  Remember that the actual CRC can only be | ||
|  | determined after feeding the augmented bytes.  Since this method uses | ||
|  | modulo-2 polynominal division at its most raw, neither final XOR values | ||
|  | nor reflection can be used.</p> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <p>Note that for the same CRC system, the initial remainder for | ||
|  | augmented message method will be different than for the unaugmented | ||
|  | message method.  The main exception is zero; if the augmented-CRC | ||
|  | algorithm uses a zero initial remainder, the equivalent unaugmented-CRC | ||
|  | algorithm will also use a zero initial remainder.  Given an initial | ||
|  | remainder for a augmented-CRC algorithm, the result from processing just | ||
|  | zero-valued CRC bytes without any message bytes is the equivalent inital | ||
|  | remainder for the unaugmented-CRC algorithm.  An example follows:</p> | ||
