I'm using Boost.MPL to obfuscate sensitive strings during compilation. I wrote a class called obf_string which can be used in the following way:

obf_string<'my_d','atab','ase_','pass','word'> password;

If someone runs strings.exe on this executable, they will not see "my_database_password" listed there, because it has been XORed with a binary mask.

[Slightly OT] Out of curiosity, isn't there some remnant of the obf_string<'my_d','atab','ase_','pass','word'> instantiated template in the type system that's visible via demangling the generated binaries, for example via nm or depends.exe? --DD
