Disclosure: On this site you won’t find specific advice on “how to call function xyz()”. Interpreting C++ ARM and #pragma dwim is also out of scope.
We’re treating our readers as intelligent beings who can use Google and/or StackOverflow, where all such specific questions were answered more than once.
What you will find is opinions, more opinions, and even more opinions on all the aspects of software development - and with a large chunk of them based on real-world experience too.
Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included.
Bot Fighting 201: Declarative Data+Code Obfuscation with Build-Time Polymorphism in C++

Bot Fighting 103. Code Integrity Checks, Code Scrambling
December 12, 2017 by • “No Bugs” Bunny
Quote:
Bingo! We’ve got an executable, which automagically performs TONS of integrity checks, which checks are spread all over the executable, and are extremely non-obvious too.
Another Quote:
This approach of 'not revealing code until attack costs are high' is certainly not limited to payments.

Quote:
it is fundamentally impossible to prevent (or detect) debugging, at least as long we’re staying on one single box.
Another Quote:
DON’T spend more than 10% of your overall anti-bot-fighting time budget on system-specific protections.
