I know Borland's old compiler was > something like 15 characters. collected from the gcc.gnu.org mauals: "The preprocessor treats all characters as significant. The C standard requires only that the first 63 be significant." http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Identifiers-implementation.html says "For internal names, all characters are significant. For external names, the number of significant characters are defined by the linker; for almost all targets, all characters are significant." the elf object file format that mspgcc uses has no limit i know of (ok it's limited by a 32 bit index or something like that, implementation dependant, but probably more than 1000 characters ;-) i have no hint on how long symbol names for ld can be. but i would expect thats more than 31, probably only limited by the used object file format. chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!
