On the 1 hand, if your source file is over 65537 lines, you should consider breaking it down. OTOH, M$ sucks for setting the limit that low

but why spend 2x the memory for something which usually only happens in obscure edge-cases?... (well, unless using a mod-64k encoding).

Because 2x infinitessimal is still infinitessimal. Why are we having this conversion when MSVC is like 10GB or something?
-
it could effect the size of OBJ files and PDBs though (nevermind if one doesn't usually distribute these). though, 24-bit could also work...
-
The idea that complexity and hideousness to use a 24-bit encoding is acceptable to save 1 byte is everything that's wrong with software...
