08/28/2021, 10:03 AMDo you mean, using C fucntions like
fopen()build/bin.kexeb
Big Chungus
08/28/2021, 10:06 AMNo, fopen is for normal files only. I was wondering if c has some sort of flows for accessing embedded files. Something like jvm's loadResourceFromClasspath()

08/28/2021, 10:07 AMHere's something I've found for cpp https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1074362/embedded-resource-in-c#1074911

08/28/2021, 10:16 AMThen you could just copy processedResources into the binary directory and open them up via fopen
Big Chungus
08/28/2021, 10:16 AMEssentially distributing them alongside your binary. Not ideal, but gets the job done.

08/28/2021, 10:17 AMthe trick I've used is equivalent to https://csl.name/post/embedding-binary-data/
ephemient
08/28/2021, 10:18 AMthe codegen approach is doable without platform specifics but can cause the compiler to blow up with large artifacts

08/28/2021, 11:11 AMWell, yeah I don't think I'm going to hack kotlinc or klib to embed resources into .kexe. Copying resources to each build output directory would suffice. That seems an overlooked task at kotlin gradle plugin though.

08/28/2021, 11:12 AMIndeed. It's still fairly recently that they've fixed it for js. Might be worth raising an issue or a PR for native too.

09/13/2022, 5:30 AMYou should ask JetBrains devs via youtrack, maybe not those who submitted the issues?
