There is an implementation of a mpl::string by Eric Neibler somewhere.
well, that's an interesting point. The string itself wouldn't even appear in the data segment. Cool.
Below is the definition of a std_str() function that takes an mpl::string and turns it into a std::string. (boost/mpl/string.hpp is available on trunk, but hasn't been released yet.) It's not *very* obfuscated, but should be enough to fool a naive string-dump.
I think it should be straightforward for the OP to write a rot13 transformation and apply that (at compile-time) to the mpl::string (or even vector_c<char,...>.) Then he can use the inverse + your function to compute the deciphered string at runtime every time he needs it. Though I guess he could also have the computation of the inverse set up at compile time, just not execute it. Interesting mental exercise anyway! -- Sohail Somani http://uint32t.blogspot.com
