Re: What is the maximum length of a g_slist?

["John Cupitt" <jcupitt gmail com>]

A gslist can be any length, but you're right, g_slist_length() will
return an incorrect result over 4g items.

You can't hit that limit on a 32-bit machine, but you could on a
64-bit. You'd need 2 pointers plus a data item (say 4 bytes for the
data), so 20 bytes per entry. 20 * 2 ** 32 is about 80 GBytes of RAM.
