64k string limit, gone?

Post by NelsonN »

Hi all,

I haven't been around for awhile. I just updated my copy of PureBasic. Wow, I was at 3.81.

There were a few things that stopped me from using PureBasic, but the most annoying was the string limit. Has the limit been removed?

Not yet, but should be done for v4.00 (no release date known).
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

Well, the limit is not officially removed yet. The link above, in which I did
post to, is just a hack procedure. Without it, strings are still limited to a
maximum of 63999 bytes.
