Implementing a basic MD5 algorithm in c++

I am trying to implement a basic MD5 algorithm in c++. I am mainly following the wiki page's algorithm which seems pretty straight forward. However, I've really been battling for some time now. I am not getting the required hash value for an empty string. I have even gone so far as to see what is happening at each of the 64 rounds but to no avail. This is what I have done so far. The code is not optimized or written particularly well but I have just hacked it together so see if I was on the right track. 

#include "md5.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

unsigned int rotateL(unsigned int x, int n)
{
    return ((x) << n) | ((x) >> (32 - n));

}

int main()
{
//The required hash value using existing md5 algorithm

MD5 md5 ;
cout << "empty str is:" << endl;
puts( md5.digestString( "" ) ) ;


//Initialize Vars
unsigned int a = 0x67452301;
unsigned int b = 0xefcdab89;
unsigned int c = 0x98badcfe;
unsigned int d = 0x10325476;

//Make a copy of above
unsigned int A = a;
unsigned int B = b;
unsigned int C = c;
unsigned int D = d;


//Assuming an empty string ""
//The message would be appended with 1 and then padded with 0's
//so m = 10000....until 512 bits
//is this true?
unsigned int m[16] = {0x80000000, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
    , 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};

int r[64] =  {7, 12, 17, 22, 7, 12, 17, 22, 7, 12, 17, 22, 7, 12, 17, 22
    ,5,  9, 14, 20, 5,  9, 14, 20, 5,  9, 14, 20, 5,  9, 14, 20
        ,4, 11, 16, 23, 4, 11, 16, 23, 4, 11, 16, 23, 4, 11, 16, 23

//The above would now be appended but they 
//do not equal to the required hash! 
//So clearly it is wrong??


return 0;

}

I have a feeling that perhaps I am doing something wrong at the padding stage but I can't quite figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This might be one of your issues:

for (int i=1;i<16;i++){

I think "i" needs to be initialized to 0, instead of 1. Because the wikipedia code shows it like this:

//Main loop:
    for i from 0 to 63
        if 0 ≤ i ≤ 15 then
            f := (b and c) or ((not b) and d)
            g := i

Also, when you update "b" on every round, you implement it as follows:

b = b^(rotateL( a ^ f ^ k[i] ^ m[g] ,r[i]));

But the reference code on the wikipedia page implements it like this:

b := b + leftrotate((a + f + k[i] + w[g]) , r[i])

Notice that the reference code just adds all those values together, you are using the xor (^) operator.

I suspect there are other issues, so you may need to double check your implementation with the reference code.
