Philipp Dunkel df2ea49e00 zlib: add crc32c
Add zlib.crc32c(data[, value]), which computes the CRC-32C checksum
(Castagnoli polynomial, RFC 3720 section 12.1). CRC-32C has better
error detection properties than the CRC-32 of zlib.crc32() and is the
checksum required by many current protocols, formats and services,
among them:

- iSCSI header and data digests (RFC 7143)
- SCTP packet checksums (RFC 9260)
- iWARP MPA framing (RFC 5044)
- NVMe/TCP header and data digests
- ext4, Btrfs and XFS metadata checksums
- the Snappy framing format
- Apache Kafka record batches
- LevelDB and RocksDB block checksums
- TensorFlow TFRecord files
- Google Cloud Storage and Amazon S3 object checksums

Implementing any of these in JavaScript currently needs a userland
CRC-32C, which is far slower than native code.

The function mirrors zlib.crc32(): it accepts a string (encoded as
UTF-8) or an ArrayBufferView, takes an optional 32-bit unsigned
starting value so a checksum can be continued across chunks, and has a
V8 fast API path.

The checksum is computed by absl::ExtendCrc32c() from the bundled
Abseil, which is already built and linked into node, so this adds no
new dependency and no new checksum implementation. absl_crc32c is
added to the libraries linked with --shared-abseil.

Abseil selects its hardware-accelerated CRC-32C path (SSE4.2 and
PCLMULQDQ on x64, the CRC32 and PMULL extensions on arm64) at compile
time, so with node's default compiler flags the portable table-driven
implementation is used. It runs at about the same speed as zlib.crc32()
(about 6.5 GB/s on a recent x64 machine), while the hardware path
reaches about 38 GB/s. Builds whose target CPU baseline already
includes those instructions get the hardware path without changes.
Enabling it for generic builds is left out on purpose: on x64, Abseil
uses the accelerated code for unrecognized CPUs without a runtime
feature check, so compiling it in unconditionally would fault on CPUs
without SSE4.2.

Node.js Core Tests

This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.

For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this directory, see the guide on writing tests.

On how to run tests in this directory, see the contributing guide.

For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the autocrlf git config flag set to true.

Test Directories

Directory Runs on CI Purpose
abort Yes Tests that use --abort-on-uncaught-exception and other cases where we want to avoid generating a core file.
addons Yes Tests for addon functionality along with some tests that require an addon.
async-hooks Yes Tests for async_hooks functionality.
benchmark Yes Test minimal functionality of benchmarks.
cctest Yes C++ tests that are run as part of the build process.
code-cache No Tests for a Node.js binary compiled with V8 code cache.
common N/A Common modules shared among many tests.1
doctool Yes Tests for the documentation generator.
es-module Yes Test ESM module loading.
fixtures N/A Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite.
internet No Tests that make real outbound network connections.2
js-native-api Yes Tests for Node.js-agnostic Node-API functionality.
known_issues Yes Tests reproducing known issues within the system.3
message Yes Tests for messages that are output for various conditions
node-api Yes Tests for Node.js-specific Node-API functionality.
parallel Yes Various tests that are able to be run in parallel.
pseudo-tty Yes Tests that require stdin/stdout/stderr to be a TTY.
pummel No Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load.

  2. Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎

  3. All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via known_issues.status. ↩︎

  4. The tests are for the logic in lib/internal/main/prof_process.js and lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic. ↩︎
