Dear all,
I am currently working on a gnuradio project and i was
wondering if anybody could please share some information about how crc
checks are made. As in when one makes a crc32 call from ones python
script , in crc.py it says the following
crc = digital_swig.crc32(s)
and there after it makes a call
to _digital_swig.crc32. I dont fully understand the "behind the scene
operation" of "_digital_swig" . I understand that its a library
associated file but its operation is what i cannot fully comprehend.
Does it help make a call to digital_crc32.cc file which has all the
underlying code.
I would be awfully obliged if somebody were to spare sometime and help out in this regard.
Thanks,
Anay.
Anay,
Yes, the CRC is implemented in C++ and wrapped into Python using SWIG. The actual Python module is digital_swig (which then gets exposed to the outside as the 'digital' module). The _digital_swig is the library call made behind the scenes. No one really needs to know anything about that, though.
So yes, if you are interested in the operation of the CRC block, look at digtial_crc32.cc in gr-digital/lib.
