# Compile-time `memfrob()`
|
||||
|
||||
glibc has a function in `string.h` called `memfrob()` which applies ROT13 to an arbitrary byte buffer.
|
||||
This small C++20 header allows you to do this at compile time to trivially obscure string literals without the literal itself appearing in the binary anywhere at all.
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
The literals can be created and stored as a sized `char` array, or as a C string pointer.
|
||||
|
||||
``` c++
|
||||
#include "cfrob.hpp"
|
||||
|
||||
const auto easter_egg = "Something cool"_frob;
|
||||
const char* c_like_easter_egg = "Something cool"_frob;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To reverse just apply ROT13 on to the string again.
|
||||
|
||||
``` c++
|
||||
auto string2 = strdup(easter_egg);
|
||||
memfrob(string2, strlen(easter_egg));
|
||||
// `string2` now contains the string "Something cool"
|
||||
free(string2);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Test
|
||||
Run `make test` to build and run the test that ensures the original string literal does not appear anywhere in the outputted binary.
