- Does anyone know what the limit is, in GNU C, of the size of
- a set of pre-processor macro expansions? It appears to be greater than
- 16k and less than 64k.
-
- By this I mean if I write:
- #define FOO(A,B) BAR(A,B) BAR(A,B)
- #define BAR(A,B) FRED(A,B) FRED(A,B)
-
- and so on....how big can the result be?
-
- Thanks, Betsy
