If you have an immediate need for something like #embed, then of course waiting for compilers to implement it isn't suffficient. But it's part of the C23 standard, that's not going to change, and code will be written to use it. I don't understand your apparently intense dislike for #embed. The fact that there are other ways to accomplish the same thing doesn't make it a bad feature. By all means don't use it if you don't like it. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
