This is great! When I refactored the #include code, I did think about adding #embed, but it would've resulted in a messy PR at the time and then I forgot about it. So thanks!

Well, good to hear I got to clean this up for you from the old idea!

Anything I need to do in other places? I only found that I had to modify here through brute-force searching for things to change; any other places that need the regex handling changes?

I don't think so, I think it's all in here. But we'll give it a test or two

Looks to be working correctly in various situations.

Although I was unable to find a compiler that supports this yet, do you know of any?

You can use the dang branch (the thephd.dev one). I updated it to have the newest #embed. Patch is out for Clang, but it's a sufficiently complex monster that it'll be a while:

llvm/llvm-project#68620
https://thephd.dev/implementing-embed-c-and-c++

Sorry, forgot to include a quick link: https://godbolt.org/z/Pb35fW7qs

Ahhhh, thanks. I did try that, but with c++ and then I got a warning with the example that's on https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/preprocessor/embed

/app/example.cpp:3:79: warning: unknown embed preprocessor parameter 'if_empty' ignored [-Wunknown-directive-parameters]
#embed "raw.githubusercontent.com/partouf/ManaWarning/master/ManaWarning.lua" if_empty('M', 'i', 's', 's', 'i', 'n', 'g', '\n')

but that's of course just about the if_empty and not the embed itself

Ok, cool

Also I do not know how well this will work with binary files. After this goes live and you have an example that goes awry, let me know

Weird, I must've goofed something up. But, thanks for merging! Here's to waiting 24 hours to see it hit the main site. 🎉

this is now live
