Question

CRC-32 generator using ACL

Does anyone know if it is possible to code the CRC-32 algorithm using ACL ?

Or is it best carried out using Java and then called from within the ACL.

Regards,

Andy

    Hi Andy-



    ACL is a fairly complete programming language, so I'm sure you could
    code CRC-32 in it if you wanted to. OTOH, it's probably easier to just
    tap into the java.util.zip package and use their implementation. If you
    want to write most of your code in ACL and just invoke the java code for
    this, you can bridge to java from ACL using the java_constructor(),
    java_instance(), etc. functions in ACL.

    If you want to be clever about things, I found this neat SHA1 implementation
    in Javascript J It's not CRC-32 but SHA1 is probably safer in most
    applications anyway, due to reduced likelihood of hash collision.
