Is there a max array length limit in C++?

Question

Is there a max length for an array in C++?

Is it a C++ limit or does it depend on my machine? Is it tweakable? Does it depend on the type the array is made of?

Answer 1

I would agree with the above, that if you're intializing your array with

 int myArray[SIZE] 

then SIZE is limited by the size of an integer. But you can always malloc a chunk of memory and have a pointer to it, as big as you want so long as malloc doesnt return NULL.
