The constants mentioned are the following:
"01234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
and
"01234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
It's very possible that separate implementations of this function would use those same constants. It's not as if they're some completely arbitrary strings.
- monocasa 7y agoWhen these constants don't appear elsewhere in the source? And what, they'd have another implementation of this function, but have a different one with their code because... reasons?
- patmcc 7y agoI mean, if you got "the source code" for a project at my work, you might get the raw source for Project A and then a bunch of already compiled libraries we put together for use, some of which could do similar things to existing code. But yah it's probably from Linux, I just don't think the constants alone are a smoking gun.
- johndough 7y agoThese constants should appear in most arbitrary-base-integer-to-string functions. I wouldn't say that this proves anything.
