Add BCH/Reed-Solomon erasure decoding #133

Open mhostetter opened 3 years ago

christakahashi commented 1 year ago

I'd love to see this feature added. I started a project using galois because I wanted more flexibility to use fields other than GF(2**m), which isn't available in other libraries I've found, but handling erasures is a must for me.

Thanks for using the library. It's something I'd like to add. I'll need to get out the textbooks to get the modified erasure algorithm. I don't believe it's too complicated, but I'll need to look it up and test it.

If you have any personal experience with erasure decoding, any help is welcome (but none is expected).

Sadly I don't have any experience implementing erasure codes. :(
