A static C# method and values for a small footprint paste into your C# code

Introduction

What! Another Crc32 routine? Well, I like small, fast, and lightweight solutions ... especially the kind having a quick copy and paste solution.

Using the Code

Copy and paste the following into your class or struct... and add overloads as you wish. I've put some overloads into the download code.

C#
//*****************************************************************************
#region Crc32 ESSENTIAL STATIC METHOD AND POLYVALS (where all THE WORK IS DONE)
    internal static uint Crc32  // The only moving part (method) 
        ( uint theStartingCRC
        , byte[] theBytes
        , int theStartingIndex
        , int forCount
        )
    {
        uint iCursor = ~theStartingCRC;
        int iTop = theStartingIndex + forCount;
        for (int i = theStartingIndex; i < iTop; i++)
        {
            iCursor = (((uint)(iCursor / 256)) & 0xFFFFFF)
                ^ Crc32_PolyVals[(int)((iCursor ^ theBytes[i]) & 0xFF)]; 
        }
        return ~iCursor;
    }
    // NOTE: No PolyVals dynamic build! 
    // Weighing dynamic generation code bytes=<whatever> 
    // versus 1024 static bytes, we suggest the savings(if any) of dynamic generation 
    // are not significant and static storage never has to be 
    // dynamically generated (grin).
    // We consider less heap motion (allocation/collection) a good thing.

The values specified are the same poly values you would get from any dynamic generator.

The only thing we do is to declare them statically, rather than calculate them dynamically (IE dynamically producing exactly the same table at runtime versus compile time).

My preference for static allocation of the “poly vals” is that if you put in code to dynamically generate them, that code itself will take up program space. Who knows how much, but I say it’s not worth it … because the savings of memory (if any) would not be worth the cost of runtime allocation on the heap. By keeping it all static, all processing occurs on the stack. There is minimal memory (heap) motion.

The download code has an example of usage, plus additional “overloads” … including one that streams in a file.

While I could have gone on and on about CRC32 calculations … the point of this "article" was quick “copy and paste” ... grab it and use it ... showing the absolute mimimum code needed for any CRC32 "calucation suite". There are plenty of articles on the details of CRC32 caluclation, involving many pages and much dialog.

Of course you have to trust this code … which is mainly a process of trusting that the hex values are “correct”. The download code has a full example of how to use the static CRC32 method to generate CRC32 on files (IE buffers), as well as some “overloads” for those that want them. The example produces CRC32 values for files in folders. You can compare those values with a what a known program (such as WinZip) generates to get that confidence.

When/if you get that confidence ... the code becomes "frozen" ... and a simple copy and paste when/where needed.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
