Optimize CRC-32C extension by zeroes

Optimize multiply() (renamed to MultiplyWithExtraX33()) to eliminate
several instructions that were present only to avoid introducing an
extra factor of x^33 into the multiplication.  It's actually fine to
introduce the extra factor of x^33 as long as it's canceled out with an
extra factor of x^-33 in all the kCRC32CPowers[] entries.

To make this work, the number of bits dropped by ComputeZeroConstant()
had to be increased from 2 to at least 3, since 2^(i + 3 +
kNumDroppedBits) - 33 must be >= 0 for all i including i=0; otherwise
kCRC32CPowers[0] would need a negative power of x.  However, this is
fine since it's more efficient to utilize CRC32_u32() and CRC32_u64()
for bits 2 and 3 anyway.  So, increase kNumDroppedBits to 4.

Add a Python script that generates the updated kCRC32CPowers[].  It
isn't wired up to the build system, but rather is just added so that
kCRC32CPowers[] can be reproduced.

Also add a test which tests ExtendCrc32cByZeroes() with all the length
bits, thus testing all the entries of kCRC32CPowers[].

Note that the kCRC32CPowers[] generation script and new test case are
things we should have had anyway, regardless of the x^33 optimization.

This change slightly improves the performance of Extend() for lengths
greater than or equal to 2048 bytes, and also the performance of
ExtendByZeroes().  It also slightly reduces the binary code size.

Abseil - C++ Common Libraries

The repository contains the Abseil C++ library code. Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ code (compliant to C++17) designed to augment the C++ standard library.

About Abseil

Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ library code designed to augment the C++ standard library. The Abseil library code is collected from Google's own C++ code base, has been extensively tested and used in production, and is the same code we depend on in our daily coding lives.

In some cases, Abseil provides pieces missing from the C++ standard; in others, Abseil provides alternatives to the standard for special needs we've found through usage in the Google code base. We denote those cases clearly within the library code we provide you.

Abseil is not meant to be a competitor to the standard library; we've just found that many of these utilities serve a purpose within our code base, and we now want to provide those resources to the C++ community as a whole.

Quickstart

If you want to just get started, make sure you at least run through the Abseil Quickstart. The Quickstart contains information about setting up your development environment, downloading the Abseil code, running tests, and getting a simple binary working.

Building Abseil

Bazel and CMake are the official build systems for Abseil. See the quickstart for more information on building Abseil using the Bazel build system. If you require CMake support, please check the CMake build instructions and CMake Quickstart.

Support

Abseil follows Google's Foundational C++ Support Policy. See this table for a list of currently supported versions compilers, platforms, and build tools.

Codemap

Abseil contains the following C++ library components:

  • base
    The base library contains initialization code and other code which all other Abseil code depends on. Code within base may not depend on any other code (other than the C++ standard library).
  • algorithm
    The algorithm library contains additions to the C++ <algorithm> library and container-based versions of such algorithms.
  • cleanup
    The cleanup library contains the control-flow-construct-like type absl::Cleanup which is used for executing a callback on scope exit.
  • container
    The container library contains additional STL-style containers, including Abseil's unordered “Swiss table” containers.
  • crc The crc library contains code for computing error-detecting cyclic redundancy checks on data.
  • debugging
    The debugging library contains code useful for enabling leak checks, and stacktrace and symbolization utilities.
  • flags
    The flags library contains code for handling command line flags for libraries and binaries built with Abseil.
  • hash
    The hash library contains the hashing framework and default hash functor implementations for hashable types in Abseil.
  • log
    The log library contains LOG and CHECK macros and facilities for writing logged messages out to disk, stderr, or user-extensible destinations.
  • memory
    The memory library contains memory management facilities that augment C++'s <memory> library.
  • meta
    The meta library contains type checks similar to those available in the C++ <type_traits> library.
  • numeric
    The numeric library contains 128-bit integer types as well as implementations of C++20's bitwise math functions.
  • profiling
    The profiling library contains utility code for profiling C++ entities. It is currently a private dependency of other Abseil libraries.
  • random
    The random library contains functions for generating pseudorandom values.
  • status
    The status library contains abstractions for error handling, specifically absl::Status and absl::StatusOr<T>.
  • strings
    The strings library contains a variety of strings routines and utilities.
  • synchronization
    The synchronization library contains concurrency primitives (Abseil's absl::Mutex class, an alternative to std::mutex) and a variety of synchronization abstractions.
  • time
    The time library contains abstractions for computing with absolute points in time, durations of time, and formatting and parsing time within time zones.
  • types
    The types library contains non-container utility types.
  • utility
    The utility library contains utility and helper code.

Releases

Abseil recommends users “live-at-head” (update to the latest commit from the master branch as often as possible). However, we realize this philosophy doesn't work for every project, so we also provide Long Term Support Releases to which we backport fixes for severe bugs. See our release management document for more details.
