FloatTexter: The dumbest way of encoding text at compile time

Inspired by this tweet. This program generates C programs which print a float array as a text string.

Compilation and Configuration

• Check config.h for number of digits used and platform endianness.
• Check config.mk for C compiler and C compiler flags.

Then just hit make ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Usage

floattexter <string> will print the generated program to stdout, so just redirect or pipe it to where you need it.
