Fast, SIMD-accelerated CRC32 (IEEE) checksum computation
extern crate crc32fast; use crc32fast::Hasher; let mut hasher = Hasher::new(); hasher.update(b"foo bar baz"); let checksum = hasher.finalize();
This crate contains multiple CRC32 implementations:
x86
using sse
and pclmulqdq
instructionsaarch64
using crc32
instructionsCalling the Hasher::new
constructor at runtime will perform a feature detection to select the most optimal implementation for the current CPU feature set.
crate | version | variant | ns/iter | MB/s |
---|---|---|---|---|
crc | 1.8.1 | n/a | 4,926 | 207 |
crc32fast (this crate) | 1.0.0 | baseline | 683 | 1499 |
crc32fast (this crate) | 1.0.0 | pclmulqdq | 140 | 7314 |
Due to the use of SIMD intrinsics for the optimized implementations, this crate contains some amount of unsafe
code.
In order to ensure memory safety, the relevant code has been fuzz tested using afl.rs with millions of iterations in both debug
and release
build settings. You can inspect the test setup in the fuzz
sub-directory, which also has instructions on how to run the tests yourself.
On top of that, every commit is tested using an address sanitizer in CI to catch any out of bounds memory accesses.
Even though neither fuzzing not sanitization has revealed any safety bugs yet, please don't hesitate to file an issue if you run into any crashes or other unexpected behaviour.
std
(default: enabled)This library supports being built without the Rust std
library, which is useful for low-level use-cases such as embedded where no operating system is available. To build the crate in a no_std
context, disable the default std
feature.
Note: Because runtime CPU feature detection requires OS support, the specialized SIMD implementations will be unavailable when the std
feature is disabled.
nightly
(default: disabled)This feature flag enables unstable features that are only available on the nightly
channel. Keep in mind that when enabling this feature flag, you might experience breaking changes when updating compiler versions.
Currently, enabling this feature flag will make the optimized aarch64
implementation available.
