Being able to create and manipulate strings during compile-time in C++ has several useful applications. Although it is possible to create compile-time strings in C++, the process is very cumbersome, ...

I need to store sensitive information (a symmetric encryption key that I want to keep private) in my C++ application. The simple approach is to do this: std::string myKey = "...

I'm trying to compute the length of a string literal at compile time. To do so I'm using following code: #include <cstdio> int constexpr length(const char* str) { return *str ? 1 + length(...

I'm trying to precompute random values using C++11's random library at compile time. I'm mostly following examples. What am I doing wrong here? using namespace std; #include <iostream> #include ...

I don't want reverse-engineers to read the plain-text of hardcoded strings in my application. The trivial solution for this is using a simple XOR-Encryption. The problem is I need a converter and in ...

I want to encrypt/encode a string at compile time so that the original string does not appear in the compiled executable. I've seen several examples but they can't take a string literal as argument. ...

I have some SQL queries with binds in my C++ code, those queries are static const std::string, because those queries are complex it is very easy to be wrong with some details. I would like to do some ...

My app contains numerous IDs. I want to eventually make the code viewable by others, but not make it easy for runtime reverse engineers to look for easily known IDs. Also, during development it is ...

I trying to write function, for compile-time hide (obfuscate) text strings in the binary code. Purpose: to disable easy search and modify text messages with binary editor. Algorithm is simple: convert ...

I have an application that uses strings with long chains of repeated characters. I want to add them to the binary in compressed/obfuscated form. I'm currently using a modified RLE algorithm for ...

Hi (sorry for the title - I couldnt make it more meaningfull), I am using encryption of string literals using constexpr from here: Compile time string encryption using constexpr I use it to hide ...
