Architectures: Classic AMIGA emulation FS-UAE on OSX 10.15.x and Mint 22.3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM Requirements Are:-
--------------------------
Amiga environment:-
FS-UAE on Intel APPLE OSX 10.15.x and GNU/Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3.
Standard default AMIGA OS_3.0.x install or better, set up with 4MB
of FastRAM.
Full ADE install is needed.

Also...
https://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ixemul-48.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
History:-
---------
25-05-2026.
-----------
Version 1.00.00. Probably the one and only upload for this archive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General, consider this the manual:-
-----------------------------------
(Apologies for any typos, etc...)
Inserting A Private String Inside CPP Code, compiled Using g++ 2.95.3.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This assumes that you have both 'ADE' and 'ixemul-48.0' fully installed
and configured.
A few years ago on this site this thread started, which I solved:
https://www.unix.com/programming/279864-embed-text-c-code.html
And I finalised it here:
https://www.unix.com/programming/281218-private-string-embedded-inside-c-code.html
As a conclusion to my aging gcc C source......
https://aminet.net/package/dev/gcc/embed_private_strings.c
......I thought I would add a pure ANSI CPP version.
This has been only tested on FS-UAE with AMIGA OS 3.0x installed along with
4MB of FastRAM as part of the emulation on both Intel GNU/Linux Mint 22.3,
and, Intel Apple OSX 10.15.x.
It has not been tested on MY real hardware, but there is no reason why it
should not work.
!!!IMPORTANT!!
--------------
Before even trying there may be an alteration needed to the assembl[er][y]
instruction inside the code for the architecture you are using.
READ the 'Architectures_Without_JMP.txt' if you are NOT using, most Intel
or Motorola 68K systems.
For example, the M? series silicon for current APPLE gear will need to be
changed from 'jmp' to 'b' before compiling, AFAIK the 'b' IS lower case.
(I don't have any current M-Series APPLE gear so this becomes untested.)
On the AMIGA A1200(HD) emulation:-
YOUR private string has a maximum ASCII character line length of 249,
allowing for both SINGLE QUOTES, and any trailing newline and NULL
characters at the end, to give a total of 255 characters.
On Intel, GNU/Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3:-
YOUR private string has a maximum POSIX ASCII character line length of
2041, allowing for both SINGLE QUOTES, and any trailing newline and NULL
characters at the end, to give a total of 2048 characters.
On the two current architectures catered for:-
The string, INSIDE the SINGLE QUOTES, MUST be an ODD number of ASCII
characters long. If it is EVEN then just add a space character at the end.
READ the code for much more information.
Start ADE as per the _manual_ or instructions and go to the drawer where
the source code is saved.
Mine is in:-
/SYS/ADE/home/C/Private_String.cpp
Compile using:-
g++ -Wall -ansi -Os -o Private_String Private_String.cpp
This will take a few seconds, (25[ish]), to compile...
When you view the hexdumps you will notice that the data sections are not
same in the AMIGA g++ 2.95.3 executable and much later versions of g++
executables for other platforms. It does not alter the position of the
hidden string however. If the Private_String function is the very first
then the hidden string will be near the top of the working code body.

The Legal Stuff:-

The authors are not responsible for any damage to, or loss of, or
failure of equipment or data caused in any way by the use of this code.
There is NO warranty with the use of this software release and
YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Testing Evaluation:-
--------------------
FS-UAE emulation of Classic AMIGA test conditions were/are running
standard OS 3.0.x and using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout. The
minimum memory requirement of 4MB extra FastRAM IS needed however.
I have no idea what strange configuration setups will create so refer
to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.
The whole archive was centred around the AMIGA! APPLE OSX 10.15.x and MY
Linux flavour were included to make the code as universal as possible
without any modification at all.
