Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: bugfix Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: use FILENAME_MAX for all filenames, since its < MAXPDSTRING

Initial Comment: On Windows, FILENAME_MAX is much smaller than MAXPDSTRING, so I replaced MAXPDSTRING with FILENAME_MAX everywhere I could find that is related to filenames. FILENAME_MAX is a POSIX standard macro for defining the max length of a complete filename.

The current situation could result in crashes on Windows.

Message: I'm not sure but I don't think Windows should have trouble trying to open files with too-long names -- if it's anything near correct it should simply refuse. And it's better to have as few POSIX dependencies as possible (Pd bios, anyone? :)
