Maximum open files, does this change under C compiler?

Post by PBJim »

There's a thread from many years ago, in which Freak confirms there is no actual limit. Will this still be the case under C compilation?

A thread in Stackoverflow suggests there are limits in C, but it's difficult to draw any conclusion amongst the varying answers.

I have carried out my own tests with PB 6.00/C and I can't seem to prove the existence of a limit, but it would be good if anyone can confirm this, thanks.
