Keywords: C ANSI Message-ID: <5002@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu> Date: 3 Oct 89 05:10:14 GMT Organization: University of Hawaii Lines: 8 I recently saw some machine generated code that passed many, many arguments in one argument list. Assuming that they are split across lines so as not to exceed any line length limit (509? I forget), is there a limit on the number of arguments allowed? I can imagine that some argument passing schemes might run into trouble at quite small values. I'm not advocating this (we've fixed the code to do it's work in other ways) but I did wonder... Robert
