## xorstr
A heavily vectorized c++17 compile time string encryption.

# quick example
```cpp
int main() {
std::puts(xorstr_("an extra long hello_world"));
}
```

# API
```cpp
// This macro creates an encrypted xor_string string instance.
#define xorstr(string) xor_string<...>{string}

// For convenience sake there is also a macro to instantly decrypt the string
#define xorstr_(string) xorstr(string).crypt_get()

struct xor_string {
using size_type = std::size_t;
using value_type = CharT;
using pointer = value_type*;
using const_pointer = const value_type*;

// Returns string size in characters, not including null terminator.
constexpr size_type size() const;

// Runs the encryption/decryption algorithm on the internal storage.
void crypt() noexcept;

// Returns const pointer to the storage, without doing any modifications to it.
const_pointer get() const;

// Returns non const pointer to the storage, without doing any modifications to it.
pointer get();

// Runs crypt() and returns the pointer to the internal storage.
pointer crypt_get();
}
```

# noteworthy things
* All keys are 64bit and generated during compile time.
* Data blocks go in increments of 16 bytes so some space may be wasted.
* The code has been crafted so that all the data would be embedded directly into code and not stored on .rdata and such.
* The entirety of string encryption and decryption will be inlined.

# supported compilers and platforms
Tested to be working on clang 5.0+, gcc 7.1+ and MSVC v141.
If your CPU does not support AVX define JM_XORSTR_DISABLE_AVX_INTRINSICS to only use SSE.
