Thanks again, Unfortunately I need to find a portable multiplatform solution. I know have a "builder" file that will output the contents of the binary to a txt file, which is then read in using the `emit` approach. Unfortunately, though, `escape` does not seem to be the right function here, as it triplicates the size of the txt file, and it does not represent the file as `staticRead` does (by looking at the resulting C code). Is there a way to get the exact C representation that `staticRead` does as a string?
`builder.nim` import strutils let omni_tar = readFile("build/omni.tar.xz") writeFile("omni_tar.txt", omni_tar.escape("", "")) writeFile("omni_tar_len.txt", $omni_tar.len) Run `reader.nim` {.emit:"""STRING_LITERAL(omni_tar_xz, "omni.tar.xz", 11);""".} {.emit:["""__attribute__((section(".omni_tar,\"aw\""))) string_literal(omni_tar,"""", staticread("omni_tar.txt").static, "\",", staticread("omni_tar_len.txt").static, ");"].} Run
