When dealing with streams crc32c generally performs better as a checksum than normal crc32. It would be a nice (IMHO) algorithm feature to include. It would be better that this gets implemented natively as it could take advantage of hardware support if it exists. It is about 3x faster than crc32 in certain conditions and about 7-9x faster when hardware assisted. Just as an indicator of it's popularity: Google seems to be also using crc32c in their cloud storage api: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil/addlhelp/CRC32CandInstallingcrcmod There is also an implementation for nodejs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-crc32c tnx. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71890&edit=1
