How to read unsigned data? Is there a stadardized parameter, or does this require a vendor extension?

You just make your array type uint8_t or whatever you need as long as it supports integer literals. See section 4 in https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3017.htm#i...
Scary, it's as if the preprocessor has become type-aware. I guess I better don't imagine the result of the preprocessing to look similar to and following the same rules as something I would have written by hand. This might make manual inspection of the preprocessed file a bit painful.
Its not really a pre-processor stage. Probably better to think of it more like a pointer cast to some binary blob. Though it'd be interesting to see what `gcc -E` would produce.
