As soon as Calc will use OUString instead of String for cell content and formula results exactly that will happen.. I've seen Calc abused as a front end for some sort of web CMS, holding entire HTML "template" fragments in one cell ... complaint was that not more than 64k characters would fit into a formula result when concatenating those ... People also complained about Writer paragraphs being limited to 64k characters ... that's ~15 pages of eye-tiring continuous lines, but ...
which might reasonably fail, then no doubt we could use the native C method, and act accordingly if it failed.
I doubt anyone would actually do that, so we could only hope for memory allocation exiting the application gracefully in that case. Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer. GnuPG key 0x293C05FD : 997A 4C60 CE41 0149 0DB3 9E96 2F1A D073 293C 05FD
