10 * We have three slightly different variants of a 32-bit CRC calculation:
11 * CRC-32C (Castagnoli polynomial), CRC-32 (Ethernet polynomial), and a legacy
12 * CRC-32 version that uses the lookup table in a funny way. They all consist
16 * Initialize a CRC accumulator
18 * COMP_<variant>(crc, data, len)
19 * Accumulate some (more) bytes into a CRC
22 * Finish a CRC calculation
24 * EQ_<variant>(c1, c2)
25 * Check for equality of two CRCs.
27 * The CRC-32C variant is in port/pg_crc32c.h.

40 * CRC-32, the same used e.g. in Ethernet.
42 * This is currently only used in ltree and hstore contrib modules. It uses
43 * the same lookup table as the legacy algorithm below. New code should
44 * use the Castagnoli version instead.

66 * The CRC algorithm used for WAL et al in pre-9.5 versions.
68 * This closely resembles the normal CRC-32 algorithm, but is subtly
69 * different. Using Williams' terms, we use the "normal" table, but with
70 * "reflected" code. That's bogus, but it was like that for years before
71 * anyone noticed. It does not correspond to any polynomial in a normal CRC
72 * algorithm, so it's not clear what the error-detection properties of this
73 * algorithm actually are.
75 * We still need to carry this around because it is used in a few on-disk
76 * structures that need to be pg_upgradeable. It should not be used in new
