I looked up at my g++ compiler and i found this: http://pastebin.com/VpSsEkBY That g++ compiler is using a gnu extension through the __GNUG__ code path. The "true" C++ code path is at line 11. Edit: Answering the

sizeof(NULL) in 4 in C++ in a 64 bit system. sizeof(NULL) is 8 in C in a 64 bit system. The difference is because NULL in C is a variable of a void pointer type with a value zero. In C++,NULL is a variable with a value zero that gets dedu

The bug here is probably with encfs and most frontend tools to enc are doing exactly what cryptkeeper is doing. For those who want alternative to cryptkeeper,there is SiriKali[1], next version will be released on Feb 1st and it will have su

VeraCrypt's on-disk format is NOT compatible with TrueCrypt's on-disk format,they are two totally different things and must be handled differently. VeraCrypt binary application can unlock TrueCrypt volumes but CAN NOT create them.

The "built-in disk encryption used in Ubuntu/Mint" is simpler for three reasons: 1. All the crypto stuff is done by the kernel and hence they are not responsible for it. 2. Most of work that goes into setting up the kernel to

VeraCrypt on linux uses the linux kernel infrastructure for user data encryption/decryption and hence its performance will be on par with LUKS because it uses the same infrastructure also. Performance of a VeraCrypt volume will degrade

"dm-crypt" is the infrastructure in the linux kernel that deals with block device encryption. TrueCrypt,VeraCrypt,zuluCrypt,tcplay,cryptsetup among others use this infrastructure to do user data encryption/decryption. What th

A pointer of type "void star" can be assigned to a pointer of any type and hence those casts are not necessary. Having them doesnt hurt,but they add clutter and shows lack of sufficient understanding of properties of pointers of t

The pointer is invalidated only if the object is moved and the object is not always moved and hence the pointer is not always invalidated. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/realloc.htm...
