C++ to C

How can I change the following code to be in C?

maczor's blog: C# CRC16-IBM / CRC16CCITT (XMODEM) Implementation

It is C# - not C++. Here is a pointer to a similar routine written in C and which uses the same table: CRC-16 8052.com.

I hate when they do that... there is no reason whatsoever to make that code C++ specific...

uint16_t ComputeCRC(const uint8_t *bytes, int offset, int length)
{
        int counter;
        uint16_t crc = 0;

        for (counter = offset; counter <>
        {

                crc = (uint16_t)unchecked((crc <<>> 8) ^ (uint16_t)bytes[counter]) & (uint16_t)0x00FF]);
        }
        return crc;
}

But some of the code looks wrong. crc <<>> 8 might be a nop or invalid or some syntax I just don't recognize.

thanks, but is the code in this link CRC16 of the polynomial 0x8005? I couldn't find any note confirming that, can you tell from the code?

Just type ctrl-F and search for 0x8005 on that page. It says right in the comments "Polynomial = 0x8005". But I still have no idea what C#'s <<>> operator does, neither does MSDN, and google won't let me google it...

The C source he links to doesn't say what polynomial it is, but it appears to be the same algorithm and same table so...

I wondered about that operator also. Can find no reference to it in the C# language specification.

I gave up on editing this code for C, for now, instead I'll use the other code (polynomial 0x1021).
I should contact the blogger who has posted that code to explain what <<>> is doing. Thank you guys.

Did you see the C code I linked to that is the same solution in actual C, which the blogger also linked to?

I'm trying to implement the CRC code on that link but I'm not sure how to pass a structure of strings (fields) that I'm using to checksum. Any idea?

I might modify it like this:

void crc16_add(uint16_t *crc, unsigned char *buf, int len)

        int i;

        for (i = 0;  i < len;  i++) {
                (*crc) = crc16_tab[(((*crc)>>8) ^ *buf++) & 0xFF] ^ ((*crc) << 8);

int main(void)
{
        unsigned int c=42;
        uint16_t crc;
        crc16_begin(crc);

        crc16_add(&crc, "strawberry", 10);
        crc16_add(&crc, &c, sizeof(c));

        printf("CRC is %u\n",(unsigned int)crc);
        return(0);
}

So you can keep calling crc_add for more parts of the structure.

#include <stdint.h> is not identified and so
static const uint16_t crc16_tab[]
any hint on that?

stdint.h is a header in the C standard library introduced in the C99 standard library section. If your compiler does not support the C99 standard you may not have this header. See stdint.h for further information.

Thanks for the link, I've found this in that link (Developers can add #include <stdint.h> to their source code to use the <stdint.h> standard, which they can do even if their compiler is not C99 compliant.) so how can I include/fix this? Is there anyway to make run on my current compiler?

Well, what is it? And more importantly, what are its headers?

'unsigned short int' instead of uint16_t would probably work with no headers, but wouldn't be very portable.

and I do the same changes to "static const uint16_t crc16_tab[] =" ?

yes, all uint16_t needs to be replaced with unsigned short int.

static const cyg_uint16 crc16_tab[] = {

shall I change cyg_unit16 to unsigned short int too?

yes, change it to unsigned short. and any other variation on uint16 you find is also unsigned short.

parse error before "crc16_tab"

That is not the complete error. And I can't see your code from here.

Please don't take this to PM's, I'm supposed to help you here so the solution can help everyone with this problem.

Seeing the code, you still need to change "static const cyg_unsigned" to "static const unsigned short".
