I'm not sure how that would work. #embed is a preprocessor directive,
and at least in the abstract model it has to expand to valid C code.
I would have expected that it would simply generate the list of
comma-separated integer constants described in the standard; later
phases would simply parse that list and generate code as if that
sequence had been written in the original source file. Do you know of
an implementation that does something else?
For example, say you have a file "foo.dat" containing 4 bytes with
values 0, 1, 2, and 3. This would be perfectly valid:
struct foo {
unsigned char a;
unsigned short b;
unsigned int c;
double d;
};
struct foo obj = {
#embed "foo.dat"
};
#embed isn't defined to translate an input file to a sequence of bytes.
It's defined to translate an input file to a sequence of integer
constant expressions.
*Maybe* a compiler could optimize for the case where it knows that it's
being used to initialize an array of unsigned char, but (a) that would
require the preprocessor to have information that normally doesn't exist
until later phases, and (b) I'm not convinced it would be worth the
effort.
