Description:


abstract superclass of crc streams;
refactored from original crc32 stream.
For details, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

Only use CRC to protect against communication errors;
DO NOT use CRC for cryptography, authentication, security, etc.
- use secure hashes for those instead.

[parameters:] 
    polynomials:
        CRC_POLY_16             0xA001
        CRC_POLY_32             0xEDB88320L
        CRC_POLY_CCITT          0x1021
        CRC_POLY_DNP            0xA6BC
        CRC_POLY_KERMIT         0x8408

Class protocol:

initialization
o  crcTableFor: generatorPolynomInteger
construct the polynom-specific lookup table

Usage example(s):

CRC8Stream crcTableFor:(16r1D bitReversed8)

o  flushCrcTables
CRC16Stream flushCrcTables
CRC32Stream flushCrcTables

instance creation
o  generatorPolynom: anLSBInteger
notice, in literature, the generator polynom is usually specified as an MSB number

Usage example(s):

       self assert:((self generatorPolynom:16r82F63B78)
                                nextPut:'123456789';
                                hashValue)    = 16rE3069283

o  generatorPolynom: anLSBInteger initValue: initValue
notice, in literature, the generator polynom is usually specified as an MSB number

Usage example(s):

       self assert:((self generatorPolynom:16r82F63B78)
                                nextPut:'123456789';
                                hashValue)    = 16rE3069283

o  generatorPolynom: anLSBInteger initValue: initValue xorOut: xorOut
notice, in literature, the generator polynom is usually specified as an MSB number

Usage example(s):

       self assert:((self generatorPolynom:16r82F63B78)
                                nextPut:'123456789';
                                hashValue)    = 16rE3069283


Instance protocol:

accessing
o  generatorPolynom
answer the generator polynom (LSB)

o  initValue
answer the init value

o  xorOut
answer the xorOut value

initialization
o  generatorPolynom: polyLSB initValue: initValueArg xorOut: xorOutArg
set the generator polynom for this instance.
And set start and xorOut.
Computes the crcTable for this polynom.
Notice the bit order is LSB

o  reset
reset the current crc value

queries
o  hashValue
return the computed CRC

writing
o  nextPutBytes: count from: anObject startingAt: start
add the hash of anObject to the computed hash so far.
