Initialise aggregate with include directive

Question

Very quick question. I want to copy & paste textual data into the source code from the separate file using include directive.

Is it legal?

struct Record; // collection of data fields

Record rec = { #include "some_big_record.txt" };

int numbers[] = { #include "some_long_sequence_of_numbers.txt" };

It works on my box (GCC), but is it portable?

Answer 1

This is portable:

Record rec = { 
#include "some_big_record.txt" 
};
