Integrating C Buffer Data Into the instruction of .text segment instead of on .data, .rodata to avoid copy.

Usage

In your C code, invoke INLINE_DATA_GEN(var_name, data) and use this preprocessor to replace it.

Both var_name and data don't need quotation marks. For detail, please check example.

Example

Example in test/.

test.c:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
    INLINE_DATA_GEN(buf, \x00\x01\x02aabbccjbinisdaf8wefwe322111hhh);
    printf(buf);
}

test_processed.c:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
    __attribute__ ((aligned (1))) char
buf_32[] = {104},
buf_28[] = {49, 49, 104, 104},
buf_24[] = {51, 50, 50, 49},
buf_20[] = {101, 102, 119, 101},
buf_16[] = {97, 102, 56, 119},
buf_12[] = {110, 105, 115, 100},
buf_8[] = {99, 106, 98, 105},
buf_4[] = {97, 98, 98, 99},
buf_0[] = {0, 1, 2, 97}
;
char* buf = buf_0;
    printf(buf);
}

It's easy to find that the buffer data aren't stored in the .data or .rodata segment.
