I have the following code which implements the adler32 checksum:
constexpr uint32_t adler32(std::string_view sv)
{
constexpr const uint32_t MOD_ADLER= 65521;
uint32_t rv= 0, a= 1, b= 0;
for (unsigned char c:sv)
{
a= (a+c)%MOD_ADLER;
b= (b+a)%MOD_ADLER;
}
rv= a|(b<<16);
return rv;
}
//----------------------------------------------------
constexpr uint16_t operator ""_csum(const char* str,long unsigned len)
{
return adler32(std::string_view(str,len));
}
and the following test routine:
#include "adler32.h"
using easyUtils::operator""_csum;
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
auto i= easyUtils::adler32("hello");
auto j= "hello"_csum;
auto k= easyUtils::adler32("hello");
cout << i << '\t' << j << '\t' << k << endl;
return 0;
}
Which gives the following output when compiled for std=c++17
using either clang or g++ under Linux:
./test/adlerTest
103547413 533 103547413
I would have expected 103547413 three times. Any ideas why this is not so?
constexpr uint16_t operator ""_csum
^^
And
103547413L % 65536L == 533L
