From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: BIONDI Philippe To: gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org Subject: line size on C sources files Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 05:19:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2000-03/msg00104.html Hi all, Is there anywhere on earth a rule/specification/usage that say that a C source file must not have any line that exceeds 255 characters ? I remember when my TPascal 4 EDI complained about lines bigger than 128 characters, but I don't know any rule that limit this size (neither posix, nor ansi..). Am I wrong ? Because if such rule exist, gcc cpp is wrong expanding macros on one (sometimes very long) line, and my Ingres precompiler win the round. If not, my convictions are right and esqlc is too badly coded ! (and I can complain to CAI) best regards, Phil. -- Philippe Biondi Systems administrator Webmotion Inc. http://www.webmotion.com mailto:philippe.biondi@webmotion.com Fax.
