Hey folks,

Related to some research I've done, I want to make publicly available a program written in C++.  The problem is that the program reads input data from a bunch of text files, and I can't make the data publicly available due to contractual obligations.  I need to figure out how to rewrite the program so that all of the input data is compiled into the machine code.

There is a lot of data.  Below is a snippet of code to show how much data I'm referring to (each of the constant integers below is the size of a corresponding array of doubles).  Does anyone have any suggestion as to how I might hide this data inside a compiled binary?

(I suspect it's possible to use sed/awk to change the input text files so that they can be placed directly inside the source code files, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this.)

Many thanks!
Daniel
