phmd5 -- generate MD5 on little-endian system

[page last modified 2019-07-14]

phmd5 is code to generate an MD5 hash. It is targeted for little-endian architectures only (tested on 32 and 64-bit).
The little-endian assumption enables processing of source data in-place, which is a significant speed boost.

The code is small and simple.
Full source is provided; it is freeware, there are no restrictions on its use, but no guarantee is given.

The original version (1.0) used a 32-bit x86 assembly routine.
Subsequent timing showed the algorithm was memory-bound, and an optimizing C compiler was sufficient to the task.
So newer versions replaced the assembly with C (though the now-unused assembly source remains for historical purposes).

A command-line test tool -- dophmd5.c/.exe -- demonstrates use.

For further information start by taking a look at the readme.txt file.
