// 2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be

// 3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution.
//
//
// USAGE: To hide the string you just have to surround it with a macro like this:
//
// NSString *secret = LOO_CRYPT_STR_N("A7LZ14F88Y", 10);
//
// Remember to use C-sting, because NSString literals cannot be processed in compile time.
//
// IMPORTANT: Works with -Os (Fastest, Smallest) optimization level.
// __str - C-string.
// __n - Number of characters in string (without trailing \0 character).
#define LOO_CRYPT_STR_N(__str, __n) LOODecrypStrN((const unsigned char []){ LOO_ENCRYPT_STR_TO_CHAR_##__n(__str) }, __n + 1)
// This is not very good encryption macro. You should change it for something stronger probably.
#define LOO_ENCRYPT_STR_CHAR_AT(__str, __i) ((unsigned char)(__str[__i]) ^ 0xFF)
// This must match LOO_ENCRYPT_STR_CHAR_AT.
