In C, ^ is the bitwise xor operator, not an exponentiation operator.
pow is the standard way to raise floating-point values to powers;
there's no standard way to do it with integers (though it would be easy

That's a bit of an embarassing slip, considering that just a few weeks

void *a, *b;
...
a ^= b;
b ^= a;
a ^= b;
