Nim wrapper for Leopard-RS: a fast library for Reed-Solomon erasure correction coding.

Usage

import leopard

# Initialize Leopard-RS
leoInit()

var
  N: Positive
  data: seq[seq[byte]]

# RS(256,239) :: 239 data symbols, 17 parity symbols

assert RS(256,239).code == 239
assert RS(256,239).parity == 17

# Choose some N
N = 1
# For RS(256,239) fill data such that
assert data.len == 239
for i in data: assert i.len == N * 64

# Encode
let
  parityData = RS(256,239).encode data

assert parityData.isOk
assert parityData.get.len == 17

# Poke up to 17 holes total in data and parityData
var
  daWithHoles = data
  paWithHoles = parityData.get

daWithHoles[9]   = @[]
daWithHoles[53]  = @[]
daWithHoles[208] = @[]
# ...
paWithHoles[1] = @[]
paWithHoles[4] = @[]
# ...

# Decode
let
  recoveredData = RS(256,239).decode(daWithHoles, paWithHoles, (N * 64).uint)

if recoveredData.isOk:
  assert recoveredData.get == data
  assert recoveredData.get != daWithHoles
else:
  # More than 17 holes were poked
  assert recoveredData.error.code == LeopardNeedMoreData
