<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/Embedded-Systems/How-To/CRC-Calculation-C-Code">CRC
Implementation Code in C</a> web page.</p>
<h3><a name="parameters">CRC Parameters</a></h3>
<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 &quot;blind spots.&quot;  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 smallest built-in type that can
hold the specified (by <code>Bits</code>) number of bits.  This should
be <code>boost::uint_t&lt;Bits&gt;::least</code>, see the <a

selection</a> for details.</p>
<p>This implementation is slow since it computes its CRC the same way as
in theory, bit by bit.  No optimizations are performed.  It wastes space
since most of the CRC parameters are specified at run-time as

<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&lt;Bits&gt;::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
given data block.  The data block starts at the address given by
<var>buffer</var> and lasts for <var>byte_count</var> bytes.  The CRC
parameters are passed through template arguments, identical to the
optimized CRC computer (<a href="#crc_optimal">see above</a>).  In fact,
such a computer is used to implement this function.</p>
<h2><a name="a_crc_func">Augmented-CRC Function</a></h2>
<blockquote><pre>template &lt; std::size_t Bits, <em>impl_def</em> TruncPoly &gt;
typename boost::uint_t&lt;Bits&gt;::fast
boost::augmented_crc( void const *buffer, std::size_t byte_count,
 typename boost::uint_t&lt;Bits&gt;::fast initial_remainder = 0u );
</pre></blockquote>
<p>All the other CRC-computing function or class templates work assuming
that the division steps start immediately on the first message bits. 
The <code>boost::augmented_crc</code> function template has 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 the function template are
the CRC's bit size (<code>Bits</code>) and the truncated polynominal
(<code>TruncPoly</code>).  The function parameters are the starting address of
the data block to be worked on (<var>buffer</var>), the number of bytes in that
data block (<var>byte_count</var>), and the incoming value of the remainder
(<var>initial_remainder</var>).  That last parameter defaults to zero if it is
ommitted.</p>
<p>This function template is 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>
