Hi all
I'm using a 'STRING' variable to store the entire contents of a file. Is there any possibility of buffer overflow if the content of the file is large? (eg: say size of the file is 30MB).
Thanks in advance

Jump to PostPrevious: strings can only hold a certain amount of data, so I'd assume so.
Have you considered using the non-standard rope to meet your data needs? Or possibly a vector<char> implementation?
Edit: Actually my previous post might need some more investigation, so I'm omitting it. My apologies.
